1. إلى ملكٍ يجلو بثاقب رأيهِ

    صدا الخطب والصادي برؤيته يروى

    To a king who, with his penetrating judgment, polishes away

    the rust of adversity; the thirsty are quenched at the sight of him.

  2. فكم من أخى فقرٍ نفى باسمه الطوى

    وكم مَهمَهٍ قَفرٍ إلى بابه يُطوى

    For many a man in poverty has banished hunger by invoking his name,

    and many a barren wilderness is traversed to reach his door.
