أبوكَ كَريمٌ غيرَ أنَّكَ سابِقٌ

عَليهِ بلا ضَيْمٍ عليهِ ولا ذَيْمِ

Your father is generous, yet you surpass

Him without reproach or blame.

فلا يَعْجَبَنَّ النَّاسُ مِمّا أقوالُهُ

وأقضي بهِ فالغَيْثُ أندى مِنَ الغَيمِ

So let not people be astonished at his words

And judgments, for rain is more bountiful than clouds.
