1. إِنَّ الأَميرَ أَدامَ اللَهُ دَولَتَهُ

    لَفاخِرٌ كُسِيَت فَخراً بِهِ مُضَرُ

    Indeed, the prince—may God perpetuate his rule—

    is truly illustrious; through him Mudar has been clothed in glory.

  2. في الشَربِ جارِيَةٌ مِن تَحتِها خَشَبٌ

    ما كانَ والِدَها جِنٌّ وَلا بَشَرُ

    Among the drinkers is a maiden, with wood beneath her.

    Her father was neither jinn nor human.

  3. قامَت عَلى فَردِ رِجلٍ مِن مَهابَتِهِ

    وَلَيسَ تَعقِلُ ما تَأتي وَما تَذَرُ

    She stood on a single leg out of awe of him.

    And she does not understand what she does or what she leaves undone.
