1. وكم ليَ من رَوضِ فَضْلٍ لقدْ

    تَفيَّأتُ فيه ظِلالَ الكَرَمْ

    And how many a garden of bounty has been mine—indeed,

    I have sheltered there beneath the shades of generosity.

  2. تَعرَّفتُه بِثَناءِ النَّدَى

    وعَرِّفْتُه بنسيمِ النِّعَمْ

    I came to know it through praise of munificence,

    and perfumed it with the breeze of blessings.
