1. إِقرَ مِنّي عَلى الوَليدِ السَلاما

    عَدَدَ النَجمِ قَلَّ ذا لِلوَليدِ

    Convey my greetings of peace to al-Walid,

    As many as the stars—still too few for al-Walid.

  2. حَسَداً ما حَسَدتُ أُختي عَلَيهِ

    رَبُّنا بَينَنا وَبَينَ سَعيدِ

    How deeply I envied my sister for him!

    Our Lord is the judge between us and Sa'id.
