1. إِنّ المَعالي لَها بازٌ بِهِ اِفتَخَرت

    وخصَّها منه في مجدٍ وإعزازِ

    The heights have a falcon with which they are proud,

    And which they favored with glory and honor.

  2. أَرى المَعالِيَ فَوقَ الشَّمسِ مَنزِلَةً

    تَقولُ ما حلَّني بدرٌ سوى بازِ

    I see the heights as higher than the sun in station,

    Saying, “No full moon dressed me but a falcon.”
