1. أنا للِسَّيِّدِ الشَّريفِ غُلامٌ

    حَيثُما فَلْيُبَلَّغْ سَلامي

    I am the noble lord’s servant.

    Wherever he may be, let my greetings be conveyed to him.

  2. وإذا كُنتُ للكِرام غُلاماً

    فأنا الحُرُّ والزَّمانُ غُلامي

    And if I am a servant to the noble,

    then I am a free man, and time is my servant.
