1. فاز بالدارين حاوي الحسنيينْ

    طاعة الله وبرّ الوالدينْ

    Whoever possesses the two virtues triumphs in both worlds:

    obedience to God and kindness to one's parents.

  2. فاغتنم برّهما واصبر له

    فهما في الدهر ليسا خالدينْ

    So seize the chance to honor them, and persevere in it,

    for neither of them is immortal in this world.

  3. طالما جادا بإحسانهما

    لك والإحسان عند الحرّ دينْ

    How often they have lavished their kindness

    on you; kindness is a debt in the eyes of the noble.
