Claude 2

  1. هَبكَ الخليفةَ حينَ يَر

    كَبُ في مواكِبهِ وجندِه

    Even if the Caliph gives you

    His procession and army when he rides,

  2. أو هَبكَ كنتَ وزيرَهُ

    أو هَبكَ كنتَ وليَّ عهدِه

    Or even if you were his minister,

    Or even if you were his heir apparent,

  3. هل كنتَ تقدرُ أن تَزي

    دَ المُبتلى بكَ فوقَ جُهدِه

    Could you increase what is apportioned

    To the afflicted beyond his allotment?
