فارِساً كانَ رُبَّ فارِسِ كِسرى

رَحَلَتهُ الخُطوبُ عَن شيدازِ

A knight was the Lord of the knights of Chosroes,

His adventures took him away from Ctesiphon.

فَاِغدُ كَاللُؤلُؤِ الَّذي بِاِسمِهِ

أَغناكَ عَن نِسبَةٍ إلى خيدازِ

So return like the pearl which by its name

Enriches you without tracing it back to Khosroes.
