1. أمولايَ شمس الدِّين شكراً لأنعمٍ

    هما قطرها حتى اسْتوى ناهضاً شكري

    O my lord Shams al-Din, thanks for favors

    whose rain poured down until my gratitude stood tall.

  2. وكانَ نباتي قد ذوى عنه معشرٌ

    فأحياه محيي النبت بالشمس والقطر

    And a company had withered away from my plant;

    then the reviver of plants brought it to life with sun and rain.

  3. نسبي لبيتكَ زادني شرفاً

    في البدوِ مذكور وفي الحضر

    My affiliation with your house has increased my honor,

    spoken of in the desert and in the towns.

  4. حسب النبات بكلِّ ناحية

    شرفاً إذا وصفوه بالخضر

    In every region, vegetation has honor enough

    when they describe it as green.
