1. الحمد لِلَّهِ حتى ينْفَد العَددُ

    يُشْتاقُ غيري ولا يشتاقني أحدُ

    Praise be to God until numbers are exhausted.

    Others are longed for, but no one longs for me.

  2. خان الزمان فأعددتُ الكرامَ له

    فمن أُعِدُّ إذا ما خانت العُددُ

    Time betrayed me, so I mustered the noble to face it.

    Whom, then, shall I muster if my defenses betray me?

  3. والحمد للَّهِ أعلاني وشرفني

    حتى تعاليتُ أن تُسدَى إليَّ يدُ

    And praise be to God, who raised me high and honored me,

    Until I rose too high for a helping hand to be offered me.

  4. لِلْعُرف نحو أُناسٍ مسلك صَبَبٌ

    ومسلكُ العرف نحوي مسلك صَعَدُ

    Kindness has a downhill path toward other people,

    And kindness's path toward me is a steep uphill path.
