يا أيها الحَبْرُ الإما

مُ ومن له قدْرٌ جليلُ

O learned ima—

—m, possessor of illustrious rank;

يا من يرى بذلَ الكثي

رِ كأنّه النَزْرُ القليلُ

O you who see abundant giv—

—ing as though it were a paltry little thing;

يا من له الفِعْلُ الجمي

لُ ومن له الوجهُ الجميلُ

O you whose conduct is beau—

—tiful, whose countenance too is beautiful;

لستُ العليلَ وإنما ال

علياءُ والمجدُ العليلُ

It is not I who am ailing; rather, loft—

—iness and glory are the ailing ones.
