1. إليكَ ضياء الدين واصلَ سيرَه

    لتفريج همّ منه ضاق به صدرا

    Toward you, Diya al-Din, he continued his journey,

    to relieve a worry that had constricted his breast.

  2. تجشَم أثقالَ السُّرى يرتجي الغِنى

    ولكنّه عند الضّياء يحمد المسرَى

    He bore the burdens of night travel, hoping for wealth,

    but in Diya’s presence he praises the night journey.
