1. لعل من فضل ربي أن طوع يدي

    لبس الحرير ولكن لست لابسه

    Perhaps it is by my Lord’s grace that within my reach is

    the wearing of silk, yet I do not wear it,

  2. مخافة الزهو أو أن الفقير يرى

    ثوبي فأحزن من حزن يلابسه

    for fear of vanity, or that a poor man might see

    my garment, and I would grieve at the sorrow that besets him.
