1. أنَا أرْفَعُ الأبْوَابِ إلاَّ أنَّنِي

    أُدْنَى لِبَاغِي العُرْفِ مِمَّا دُونِي

    I am the loftiest of doors, yet I

    Am nearer to a seeker of kindness than those beneath me.

  2. ما أغْلَقُوني دونَ طالِبِ حَاجَةٍ

    كَلاَّ ولا في وجْهِهِ رَدُّونِي

    They have never closed me against one seeking help;

    No indeed, nor shut me in his face.

  3. أنَا غَوثُ مُنتَجِعٍ وعِصْمَةُ خَائِفٍ

    ومَآلُ مسْكِينٍ وسَرْكَرُ دُونِ

    I am succor for a seeker of bounty and protection for one in fear,

    And a refuge for the destitute and a chief of the lowly.

  4. لَمْ تَفْخَر الأبْوابُ إلاّ طُلْتُهَا

    فَخْراً لكَونِي بابَ شَمْسِ الدِّينِ

    Never have doors boasted without my surpassing them

    In glory, because I am the door of Shams al-Din.
