1. لو ساعدتني حالة كانَ لي

    ببعض من لاقكمُ اُسوه

    If circumstances favored me, I would have

    an example in some of those who have met you,

  2. حتَّى ترى عيني مقام العلى

    وكعبة المعروف في الكسوه

    so that my eye might behold the station of eminence

    and the Kaaba of generosity in al-Kiswah.
