1. دامَ صاحي وِدادِهِ عُمُرَ الدَه

    رِ جَنيناً لِشُكرِيَ النَشوانِ

    May his sober affection endure for all time,

    an unborn child of my intoxicated gratitude.

  2. وَبَناتُ الصُدورِ أَرفَعُ فيما

    زَعَمَ المَجدُ مِن بَناتِ الدنانِ

    And the daughters of the bosom are loftier, as

    glory has claimed, than the daughters of the wine-jars.
