1. لنا ملك قد قاسمتنا هباتهُ

    فنثر العطا منه ونثر الثنا منَّا

    We have a king whose gifts have made us partners:

    The scattering of bounty is his, and the scattering of praise is ours.

  2. يذكرنا أخبار معنٍ بجودِه

    فننثني له لفظاً وينشي لنا معنى

    His generosity reminds us of the tales of Maʿn;

    So we bow to him in words, and he creates meaning for us.
