1. إِنِّي لَفِي كَنفِ مَوْلىً جُودُ رَاحَتِهِ

    كَمْ رَاحَةٍ وَصَلَتْ مِنْهُ لإِنْسانِ

    I am indeed under the protection of a patron with a generous palm;

    how much comfort has come from him to people!

  2. ما أَسْكَتَتْنِي بِالمَعْرُوفِ مِنْهُ يَدٌ

    إِلّا وَسَرَّحَ تَسْرِيحاً بِإِحْسَانِ

    No hand of his has silenced me with kindness

    without his granting me a gracious release.
