1. A man stood out, magnificent and grand,
In an age where none could equal him.
١. جَلَّ اِمرُؤٌ مُنفَرِداً وَجَلّا
في زَمَنٍ لَم يَرَ فيهِ مِثلا
2. Praise consumed his flanks voraciously,
And anger would not bend him, even if subdued.
٢. قَد أَكَلَ الحَمدُ تِلادي أَكلا
وَالعَضبُ لا يَثنيهِ إِن يُفَلّا
