إذا مَا أتينَاه في حَاجةٍ

رَفعنَا الرِقَاع له بالقُصُب

When we come to him with a need,

We raise our petitions to him upon a reed.

له حَاجِبٌ دَونَه حَاجِبٌ

وحَاجِبُ حَاجِبُ حَاجِبِه مُحتَجِب

He has a chamberlain, and before him a chamberlain,

And the chamberlain of the chamberlain of his chamberlain is hidden.
