يَميناً بِمَن لاقى عَلى غَيرِ مَوعِدِ

لِمَن فَضلُهُ لِلحُبِّ في القَلبِ غارِسُ

A toast to one met by chance unplanned,

Whose grace did plant love in my heart.

لأَنتَ بِذاكَ القُطرِ سَحبانُ وائِلٍ

وَأَنتَ بِميدانِ اليَراعَةِ فارِسُ

You are that rain, clouds bountiful,

A knight where virtue is put to the test.
