1. يا منْ أعارَ الليثَ حسنَ اللقا

    وَكَمْ أعارَ السُّحُبَ الهطْلا

    O you who lent the lion grace in encounter,

    And how often you lent the clouds their pouring rain!

  2. بعضُكَ في الجودِ ككل الورى

    فاعجبْ لبعضٍ يعدلُ الكلا

    A part of you, in generosity, is like all humankind;

    So marvel at a part that equals the whole!
