1. الناسُ تَحتَكَ أَقدامٌ وَأَنتَ لَهُم

    رَأسٌ فَكَيفَ يُسَوّى الرَأسُ وَالقَدَمُ

    The people beneath you are feet, and you are their

    head—how, then, can head and foot be made equal?

  2. إِنّا لَنَعلَمُ أَنّا ما بَقيتَ لَنا

    فينا السَماحُ وَفينا الجودُ وَالكَرَمُ

    We surely know that, as long as you remain with us,

    generosity is among us, and among us are bounty and nobility.

  3. وَحَسبُنا مِن ثَناءِ المادِحينَ إِذا

    أَثنَوا عَلَيكَ بِأَن يُثنوا بِما عَلِموا

    And of the praise of praisers, it is enough for us, when

    they praise you, that they praise you for what they know.
