زَعَمتَ أَنَّكَ تَنفي الظَنَّ عَن أَدَبي

وَأَنتَ أَعظَمُ أَهلِ العَصرِ مِقدارا

You claimed that you deny any suspicion about my manners,

You claimed to banish suspicion from my art,

Yet you are the most esteemed person of this time.

You, who are the greatest of the age in rank.

إِنّي أَنا الذَهَبُ المَعروفُ مَخبَرُهُ

يَزيدُ في السَبكِ لِلدينارِ دينارا

I am the well-known gold, whose source is known,

I am that gold whose assay is well known,

That adds value to the dinar upon minting.

That increases, in the casting, dinar upon dinar.
