1. وَلي صَغِيرانِ أَعْرَى مِن سُيُوف وَغىً

    في كَفِّ ذِي حَنَقٍ قَد حَثَّهُ النَّارُ

    And I have two little ones, barer than swords of battle,

    in the hand of an angry man whom fire has spurred.

  2. كَسَوْتَني وَكَسَوْتَ العِرْسَ أُمَّهُما

    بَيضاءَ تُشرِقُ فيها مِنكَ أَنْوارُ

    You clothed me and clothed my wife, their mother,

    in a white garment, in which lights from you shine.

  3. عَمَّتْ بِفَضْلِكَ مَن في الدّارِ أَجمَعَهمْ

    حتىَّ تَناوَلَ مِنها حَظَّهُ الجَارُ

    Through your bounty, it covered everyone in the house,

    until even the neighbor took his share of it.
