1. وصَلَ الكِتابُ فَكانَ أَكرَمَ وارِدٍ

    أَهدى السُرورَ لِخادِمٍ مُشتاقِ

    The letter arrived and was the most gracious visitor;

    it bestowed joy upon a yearning servant.

  2. لِلَهِ كَفٌّ سَطَّرتهُ فَإِنَّها

    مُجرى الحَياةِ وَمَنبَعُ الأَرزاقِ

    God bless the hand that penned it, for it is

    the channel of life and the wellspring of sustenance.
