1. سيدي حشمتي عليك حرامٌ

    وبحكم الكريم تقضي الكرامُ

    My lord, you must not make me feel abashed;

    And the noble judge according to the noble man's ruling.

  2. وأرى مذ ملكتني أن مثلي

    أبداً لا تفيدك الأيامُ

    And since you made me yours, I see that one like me

    Will never be bestowed upon you by the days.

  3. خادمٌ ناصحٌ وعبدٌ محب

    وصديقٌ وصاحبٌ وغلامُ

    A devoted servant and a loving slave,

    And a friend, a companion, and a page:

  4. خمسة قد جمعتهم لك وحدي

    لمعاني اختصاصهم والسلام

    Five whom I alone have brought together for you,

    With their distinctive qualities—and peace.
