1. ترفُقاً يا أَبا يَحيى ومن ظفرت

    كَفي بِهِ فَدَعاني فَضلُهُ ظافِرْ

    Be gentle, O Abu Yahya, and you who were won

    by my hand, and whose bounty then called me victorious.

  2. إِن حالَ ما بَينَنا رَيحانُنا الناظِر

    فَناظرُ القَلبِ حَقا نَحوَكُم ناظِرْ

    If our watchful Rayhan has come between us,

    then the heart's eye is truly gazing toward you.

  3. أَحمي مَكانَك مِن قَلبي وَأمنعُه

    كَما حَمى الحاجِبُ الإِسلامَ بِالباتِرْ

    I guard your place within my heart and defend it,

    as the chamberlain defended Islam with the cleaving sword.
