1. بِنُورِ المعاني أشْرَق اللفظُ فاكْتَسَى

    بثَوْبَيْهِ من حُسْنٍ بَديعٍ بلا زُورِ

    By the light of meanings, the wording shone and so clothed itself

    In its two robes of wondrous beauty, without falsehood.

  2. ففي عُمَرٍ من عالمِ الذَّرِّ عَدْلُه

    إلى اسْمٍ سَرَى من أجْلِ ذا قيل تَقْدِيري

    For in ʿUmar, from the realm of primordial particles, his justice

    Passed into a name; hence it was called 'presumed.'

  3. ومَن قال ذا التَّقدير غيرُ مُحَقَّقٍ

    فقد سار في ظَلْمَاءِ جهلِ بلا نُورِ

    And whoever says this supposition is unsubstantiated

    Has indeed walked in the darkness of ignorance, without light.
