1. وسائلُ النَّاسِ شَتّى عِندَ سادَتِهِمْ

    ولي وسائلُ آدابي وآمالي

    The people's means are diverse with their masters

    And my means are my manners and my hopes

  2. فاسحَبْ ببِرِّكَ أذيالاً على أملي

    أسحَبْ بشُكرِكَ ما عُمِّرْتُ أذيالي

    So draw with your righteousness the train on my hope

    Draw with your gratitude what my train has lived
