1. رأوا نعمةً لله ليست عليهمُ

    عليكَ وفضلاً بارعاً لا تنازَعُه

    They saw a blessing from God, bestowed not upon them,

    But upon you, and surpassing merit in which you are unrivaled.

  2. من الدينِ والدنيا جميعاً لك المُنى

    وفوقَ المُنى أخلاقُهُ وطبائِعُه

    In faith and worldly life alike, all you desire is yours;

    And his character and disposition surpass all one could wish.

  3. فعضُّوا من الغيظِ الطويلِ أكفَّهم

    عليكَ ومن لم يَرضَ فاللَهُ خادِعُه

    So in their prolonged rage they bit their palms

    On your account; and whoever is not content—God will outwit him.
