1. وَأَخٍ كَريمِ العُنصُرِ

    مُتَفَضِّلٍ حُرٍّ سَري

    And a brother of noble stock,

    Generous, freeborn, distinguished,

  2. أَهدى لَنا يُسراً لَهُ

    طَعمٌ كَطَعمِ السُكَّرِ

    Gave us ease, which has

    A taste like that of sugar,

  3. كَخَرائِطٍ مِن مُصمَتٍ

    خُتِمَت بِشَمعٍ أَصفَرِ

    Like pouches of plain silk,

    Sealed with yellow wax.
