1. فديتُكَ إنِّ مُقتِرٌ رازِحُ الحالِ

    ومالي سِوى جدوى يَمينكَ مِنْ مالي

    May I be your ransom; I am impoverished, weighed down by my circumstances.

    And my only wealth is the bounty of your right hand.

  2. وقد أملَتِ الآمالُ شُكراً ومِدْحَةً

    على قَلمي فاسمَعْ أمالَي آمالي

    And hopes have dictated thanks and praise

    To my pen; so hear the dictations of my hopes.
