1. يَدَاكَ يَدٌ خَيرُهَا يُرتَجَى

    وَأُخرَى لِأَعدائِهَا غائِظَه

    Your two hands: one whose goodness is hoped for,

    And another that enrages its enemies.

  2. فَأمَّا الَّتي خَيرُها يُرتَجَى

    فأجود جوداً من اللافِظَه

    So as for the one whose goodness is hoped for,

    It is more generous in giving than the sea.

  3. وَأَمَّا الَّتي يُتَّقَى شَرُّها

    فَنَفسُ العَدُوِّ لَها فائِظَه

    And as for the one whose harm is feared,

    The enemy’s soul departs because of it.
