وَجَدتُ أَبي فيهِم وَجَدّي كِلَيهِما

يُطاعُ وَيُؤتى أَمرُهُ وَهُوَ مُحتَبي

I found my father in them, and my grandfather

He is obeyed, and his command is fulfilled, while he remains secluded

فَلَم أَتَعَمَّل لِلسِيادَةِ فيهِمُ

وَلَكِن أَتَتني طائِعاً غَيرَ مُتعَبِ

So I did not strive for authority over them

Rather, it came to me willingly, without effort
