1. ما ضرني حسد اللئام ولم يزل

    ذو الفضل يحسده ذوو النقصان

    The envy of the ignoble has not harmed me, and always

    the man of merit has been envied by the deficient.

  2. يا بؤس قوم ليس جرم عدوهم

    إلا تظاهر نعمة الرحمن

    Woe to a people whose enemy's only crime

    is the profusion of the Most Merciful's bounty.
