1. مَولاي يا رَبَّ اليَرا

    عَة وَالبَراعَة وَالفَصاحَه

    My lord, O master of the

    quill, of literary skill and eloquence.

  2. فيكَ العَوارِف وَالمَعا

    رف وَاللَطافَة وَالرَجاحَه

    In you are gracious favors and

    learning, refinement, and sound judgment.

  3. وَبِكَ المَكارِم وَالكَرا

    ئم وَالعَزائِم وَالسَماحَه

    And in you are noble deeds and

    noble qualities, firm resolves, and generosity.

  4. عَهدي بِهِمَّتِكَ العَلِيَّةِ إِن

    تَأَبّى جامِحٌ راضَت جِماحَه

    I know your lofty resolve: if

    a headstrong one balks, it tames his unruliness.

  5. فَعَلى مَ أُخِّرَ مَطلَبي

    بَل سَيّدي أَرجو نَجاحَه

    Why, then, has my request been delayed?

    Rather, my lord, I hope for its fulfillment.
