1. إِلى اِبنِ بُرانٍ وَاِبنِ رُزّيكَ مَقصِدي

    وَغَيرِهِما في عَصرِنا لَيسَ يُقصَدُ

    My destination is Ibn Buran and Ibn Ruzzik,

    And in our age, none but those two is sought.

  2. وَكَيفَ أَخافُ الفَقرَ أَو أُحرَمُ الغِنى

    وَكَنزي مِنَ الأَمصارِ مِصرٌ وَصَرخَدُ

    And how could I fear poverty or be denied wealth,

    When my treasure among the cities is Egypt and Sarkhad?

  3. فَلازالَ طَلاعَ الثَنايا طَلائِعٌ

    وَلازالَ مَحمودَ النَجَّارِ مُحَمَّدُ

    So may Tala'i ever remain a climber of mountain passes,

    And may Muhammad ever remain of praiseworthy lineage.
