1. أجزتُهم كلَّ ما أرادوا

    إذا وفى شرطَهُ العزيزُ

    I have granted them permission for all they desired,

    provided al-ʿAzīz fulfills his condition—

  2. قوماً أحقُّ الورى بمدحي

    فها أنا المادحُ المجيزُ

    a people most deserving, among all humankind, of my praise.

    So here I am, the praiser, the giver of permission.
