1. طلَعْتُ نَجْماً في سماءِ اليَدِ

    يُهْدى بيَ الرّائِحُ والمُغْتَدي

    I rose as a star in the sky of the hand.

    By me, the evening traveler and the morning traveler are guided.

  2. حتّى ابْنُ نصْرٍ وهْوَ قُطْبُ الهُدى

    بالنّجْمِ منّي لمْ يَزل يهْتَدي

    Even Ibn Nasr, himself the pole of guidance,

    Has never ceased to find his way by my star.
