    لما زَهَت عَن ثَغرِها البسام

    Eminence beat for him the tambourine of his joy,

    When she beamed from her ever-smiling mouth.

    وَدَعَتهُ في أُفُق المسرة سامي

    And she began invoking protection for his star when it appeared,

    And hailed it, high on the horizon of joy.

    بختان مِثلَك زاد رَفع مَقامي

    And Good Fortune spoke clearly with joy, saying:

    "Bakhtan, one like you has heightened my standing."

  4. رمقته أَحداقُ الوَرى مِن بشرها

    وَصفت لَه الاِرواحَ بِالاِجسام

    The eyes of humankind gazed at him in their gladness,

    And souls within their bodies were sincerely devoted to him.
