1. حللت بمصر عن الحاكمين

    كأنَّا ذَوي نسبٍ مبهج

    You have settled in Egypt on behalf of the judges,

    As though we were of a gladdening lineage.

  2. إمامَ التقى دُمْ لنا مرتجًى

    وما باب فضلك بالمرتج

    O imam of piety, remain a source of hope for us;

    And the door of your bounty is not shut.

  3. فليس الدقيق كمثل الجليل

    وليس العلليّ كالخزرجي

    For the small is not like the great,

    Nor is al-ʿAlalī like al-Khazrajī.
