أَشَرُّ رئيسٍ مَن أَضَلَّ بحِزبِهِ

لحُبِّ الهدايا فَهوَ يُهدي ويستهدي

The worst of leaders is he who leads his party astray

Out of love for gifts, so he gives and is guided

وخيرُ رئيسِ مبتغٍ خيرَ شعبِهِ

إِطاعةَ مولاهُ فيَهدِي ويستهدي

Yet the best leader seeks the good of his nation

By obeying his Lord, so he guides and is guided
