1. قصر بدا روض الحبور أخاه

    نسباً ومعمود السرور أباه

    A palace appeared, with the garden of delight as its brother,

    By lineage, and one baptized in joy as its father.

  2. زرناه نجلي للصدا أو نجتدي

    أنس التهاني من رحاب فناه

    We visited it to clear away rust, or to seek

    The warmth of congratulations from its spacious courtyard.

  3. ولذاك لما أن شكى قلبي الضنا

    أرحت إيوان الخلاص شفاه

    And so, when my heart complained of wasting illness,

    I gave it rest; the hall of deliverance healed it.
