1. تمكَّنْتُ من تَقبيلِ كَفِّ لو أنَّني

    أردْتُ بِها الدُّنيا لَكُنْتُ أنالُها

    I was able to kiss a hand—had I

    sought the world through it, I would have attained it,

  2. لأنَّ الّذي قد مَدَّها مُتفَضِّلاً

    هُو الدِّين والدُّنيا وكَفّاهُ مالُها

    for the one who graciously extended it

    is faith and the world, and his two hands are its wealth.
