1. يا عُمدَتي في ذا الزَمانِ وَعُدَّتي

    مَهما ثَنى دَهري عِنانَ جَموحِ

    O my mainstay in this age and my resource,

    However my fate may turn a headstrong steed's reins,

  2. ها قَد سَطا جَيشُ الهُمومِ بِخاطِري

    فاِبعَث لَهُ جَيشاً مِنَ التَوشيحِ

    Behold, the army of cares has assailed my mind;

    So send against it an army of muwashshah verse.
