1. أنا دارُ دارِك وهيَ في شَرعِ العُلا

    ربَعٌ حرامٌ آمِنٌ جيرانُهُ

    I am the abode of your abode; under nobility’s law, it is

    A sacred precinct whose neighbors are safe.

  2. لا يزهدنَّكَ منظري في مَخبري

    فالبحرُ مِلحُ مياههِ عقيانُهُ

    Let not my appearance make you disdain my inner character.

    For the sea, the salt of its waters is its pure gold.

  3. ليس القدودُ ولا البرودُ فضيلةً

    ما المرءُ إلا قلبُهُ ولسانُهُ

    Neither bodily forms nor striped cloaks are a virtue.

    A man is nothing but his heart and his tongue.
