1. سبحانَ مَن خَصَّ الفِلِزَّ بعزَّةٍ

    والنَّاسُ مُستَغْنونَ عَنْ أجناسِهِ

    Glory be to Him who made metal precious,

    though people have no need of its kinds;

  2. وأذَلَ أنفاسَ الهواء وكُلُّ ذي

    نَفْسٍ فَمُفْتَقِرٌ إلى أنفاسِهِ

    and made the breaths of air lowly, yet every living

    being is in need of its breaths.
