1. أبَا جِيدَ قدْ أَمَّمْتُ بَحْرَكَ جَائِداً

    لِأَكْرَعَ فِي سَلْسَالِ عَذْبِ الْمَوَاهِبِ

    O Abū Jīd, I have come thirsting to your sea,

    To drink from the clear, sweet waters of gifts.

  2. أبَا جِيدَ جِيدُ الْكِيسِ أَصْبَحَ عَاطِلاً

    وَغَالَتْ عُقُودَ الْوَفْرِكَفُّ النَّوَائِبِ

    O Abū Jīd, the purse’s neck has become bare,

    And the hand of calamities has snatched away the necklaces of wealth.
