1. حُسنُ ظَنّي إِلَيكَ أَسعَدَكَ اللَ

    هُ دَعاني فَلا عَدِمتَ الصَلاحا

    My good opinion of you—may God grant you happiness—

    has drawn me to you; may you never lack goodness.

  2. وَدَعاني إِلَيكَ قَولُ رَسولِ اللَ

    هِ إِذ قالَ مُفصِحاً إِفصاحا

    And the words of God's Messenger drew me to you,

    when he spoke with utter clarity:

  3. إِن أَرَدتُم حَوائِجاً عِندَ قَومٍ

    فَتَنَقَّوا لَها الوُجوهَ الصِباحا

    “If you have requests to make of a people,

    then choose the fair of face to fulfill them.”

  4. وَلَعمري لَقَد تَخَيَّرتُ وَجهاً

    ما بِهِ خابَ مَن أَرادَ النَجاحا

    And by my life, I have indeed chosen a face

    through whom no seeker of success has ever failed.
