1. نُجلُّكَ القَابَل لِلمَدْحِ

    يُبَشِّرُ القَائِلَ بِالنُّجْحِ

    We honor you; the one receptive to praise

    gives the speaker glad tidings of success.

  2. وَرَأْسُ مَالي حُسْنُ ظني وَلا

    بُدَّ لِرَأْسِ المَالِ مِن رِبْحِ

    And my capital is my good opinion, and

    capital must yield a profit.
