بعثَ الرئيسُ لرزقه البابا

خابت ورمتُ الرَّازقَ الوهَّابا

The president sent for his sustenance from the Pope

But failed and accused the All-Provider of false hope

فأتى إليَّ الرزقُ يسعى منشداً

كسّ أختِ رزقٍ لا يدقُّ البابا

Then sustenance came to me seeking on its own

Unlike the sustenance whose sister won't knock on a door
