1. طال عهدي برؤية الروض فابعث

    لي روحاً قَدْ نمقته يمينُكْ

    It has been long since I saw the garden; so send

    me a spirit that your right hand has adorned.

  2. أنت خدن العلا فلا ذاق يوماً

    مر طعم الفراق منك خدينُكْ

    You are glory’s companion; may your companion never

    taste the bitterness of parting from you, on any day.

  3. قلت للمقسم المؤكد للأي

    مان أن لَيْسَ فِي البلاد قرينُكْ

    I said to the one who swore and reaffirmed his

    oaths that in these lands you have no equal:

  4. قلت صدقاً وجئت حقاً فلو قل

    ت وكافي الدنيا لبَرَّت يمينُكْ

    “You spoke truly and brought the truth; had you said

    ‘By the one who suffices for the world,’ your oath would have proved true.”
