1. أما الوفاءُ فقد ضَمِنْتُ نِجَازَهُ

    ولمحتُ نَورَ النُجْحِ في أغصانِهِ

    As for keeping faith, I have guaranteed its fulfillment;

    And I glimpsed the blossoms of success upon its branches.

  2. وكذا ضمِنْتُ الشكرَ منه تكلُّفَاً

    حقٌّ عليه لمن يفِي بضَمانِهِ

    Likewise, I have guaranteed gratitude from him, taking it upon myself—

    A duty he owes to whoever honors his guarantee.
