1. يا سَيِّداً قَد حازَ حُسنَيَينِ

    العلمَ وَالدينَ بِغَيرِ مَينِ

    O master who has attained two excellences—

    knowledge and faith, without falsehood.

  2. قَد اِنقَضى وَقتُ جُمادَيَينِ

    وَما أَتى المَعلومُ مِن لُجينِ

    The time of the two Jumādā months has passed,

    yet the allotted payment in silver has not arrived.

  3. أَلا اجمَعَن ما بَينَهُ وَبَيني

    فَما يَسُرُّ العينَ غَيرُ العَينِ

    Pray, bring it and me together,

    for nothing delights the eye but ready money.

  4. بِهِ اِنقِضاءُ مَأرِبي وَدَيني

    Through it my needs are met and my debt discharged.
