1. بابنَ الْكِرامِ ومَنْ هُمُ في رُتْبَةٍ

    جَلّتْ فَجَلّتْ أن تُنالَ وتُلْحَقا

    O son of the noble, and of those whose rank

    Is exalted—too exalted to be attained or matched!

  2. للهِ دُرُّ الدُّرِّ مِنْكَ فإنّهُ

    يَغْدو بِهِ مِنْكَ النّظامُ مُقَرْطَقا

    How splendid the pearls from you! For indeed,

    Through them your verse comes forth clad in a tunic.
