1. وَاللَهُ ذي القَدرِ العَظيمِ وَمَن بِهِ

    يَنجو المُصَدِّقَ مِن شَفيرِ الهاوِيَةِ

    By God of great majesty, and by the One through whom

    the believer escapes the brink of the abyss.

  2. ما طابَ لي في العُمرِ عُد أَصابِعي

    أَيّامَ صَفوٍ عَن هُمومٍ خالِيَةِ

    What I have enjoyed in life can be counted on my fingers:

    days of serenity, free from cares.
