1. إنّي لغَيرِ صنيعةٍ لشكورُ

    كلا وإن سَواءك المغرورُ

    I am indeed grateful, even without a favor.

    No! Indeed, the deluded one is someone other than you.

  2. ما لي أراني منكَ تحتَ سحابَةٍ

    ظمآن أستسقي وأنتَ مَطيرُ

    Why do I see myself beneath a cloud of yours,

    Thirsty, asking for rain, while you are rain-laden?

  3. أنتَ الأميرُ وغيرُكُ المأمورُ

    وعظيمُ شغلٍ في جداكَ يسيرُ

    You are the commander, and others are commanded.

    And even a great undertaking is easy for your bounty.
