1. شَكَرتُ لِدَهري جَمعَهُ الدارَ مَرَّةً

    وَتِلكَ يَدٌ عِندي لَهُ لا أُضيعُها

    I thanked my fate for once bringing us together in one abode;

    And that is a favor it has done me which I shall not forget.

  2. وَطَلعَةُ مَولانا يُطالِعُ عَبدَهُ

    وَكُلُّ رُبوعٍ كانَ فيها رُبوعُها

    And our lord’s countenance as he looks in on his servant,

    And all the dwellings where that countenance has sojourned.

  3. فُؤادٌ سَقاهُ لا يَعودُ غَليلُهُ

    وَعَينٌ رَأَتهُ لا تَفيضُ دُموعُها

    A heart he has watered—its burning thirst never returns;

    And an eye that has seen him—its tears do not flow.
