أنا في خيرٍ وميرٍ بحمى

صاحب سلك قصدي مسلكه

I am in well-being though with fever's heat oppressed,

My friend pursues my course, his steps with mine attest,

أصل ذا سعد من الله أتى

ولعمري كلّ هذا بركه

From God this fortune comes, and truly, all the rest,

I swear, is nothing but God's blessing manifest.
