Great of glory, lofty of pillars,

2. Vanquisher of the eloquent Nizār in the morning of majesty,
Were I to will it, I would say all nations,
٢. قَريعِ نِزارٍ غَداةَ الفَخارِ
وَلَو شِئتُ قُلتُ جَميعَ الأُمَم
3. He has a palm of munificence giving wealth,
And a palm destroying with the sword of vengeance.
٣. لَهُ كَفُّ جودٍ تُفيدُ الغِنى
وَكَفٌّ تُبيدُ بِسَيفِ النِقَم
