قَد صَكَّ لي بِالقُربِ مِن سَيِّدي

وَدارَ صَكّي في الدَواوينِ

My seal was struck near my master

A deed of closeness to my master has been struck,

And my affairs recorded in the archives

And my writ has circulated through the bureaus,

وَاستَأذَنَ الكاتِبُ في خَتمِهِ

وَقَد دَعَوا لِلخَتمِ بِالطينِ

The scribe sought leave for his seal

The scribe has sought permission to affix the seal,

And called for clay to seal with

And they have called for the clay to set the stamp.
