1. ويكادُ من كَرَمِ الطِّبَاعِ وَلِيدُهُم

    يَهَبُ المعاوِزَ لَيلَة الميلادِ

    And so generous by nature is their newborn that he almost

    gives away his swaddling clothes on the night of his birth.

  2. وإذا امتَطَى مَهداً فليس يُنيمُهُ

    إلا نشيدُ مدائحِ الأجداد

    And when he mounts a cradle, nothing lulls him to sleep

    except a chant in praise of his forefathers.
