1. دِجلَةُ تَسقى وَأَبو غانِمٍ

    يطعِم مَن تَسقى مِنَ الناسِ

    The Tigris gives drink, and Abu Ghanim

    feeds those among the people to whom it gives drink.

  2. أَعَدَّ لِلمَعروفِ أَموالَه

    وَسَيفهِ في حَلبَةِ الباسِ

    He has readied his wealth for good deeds,

    and his sword for the arena of battle.

  3. يَرتُقُ ما يَفتُقُ أَعداؤُهُ

    وَلَيسَ يَأسو فَتقَهَ آسي

    He mends what his enemies tear apart,

    and no healer can mend the tear he makes.

  4. وَالناسُ جِسمٌ وَإِمامُ الهُدى

    رَأسٌ وَأضنتَ العَينُ في الراسِ

    The people are a body, and the imam of guidance

    is the head, and [you are] the eye in the head.
