1. بَابُ نَدَاكَ الْجَزِيلِ غَيْرُ مَسْدُودِ

    وَمَنْ تَيَمَّمَهُ لَيْسَ بِمَطْرُودِ

    The gate of your abundant generosity is not closed.

    And whoever makes for it is not turned away.

  2. وَكَيْفَ يُطْرَدُ مَلْهُوفٌ لَهُ غِلَلٌ

    إِلَى مَوَارِدَ عَذْبٍ غَيْرِ مَحْدُودِ

    And how could a distressed man be driven away, with his burning thirst

    For sources of boundless sweet water?

  3. بَحْرٌ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ مَرْدُودٌ لَهُ لُجَجٌ

    زَرَتْ عَلَى كُلِّ بَحْرٍ غَيْرِ مَوْرُودِ

    A sea of bounty, with deep waters ascribed to it,

    That put every unfrequented sea to shame.

  4. بَحْرٌ طَمَى إِذْ نَمَا إِلَى عَلِيٍّ عَلاَ

    عَلَى الأَعَالِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ دَاوُدِ

    A sea that overflowed when traced to Ali, who rose

    Above the loftiest—Ali ibn Dawud.

  5. إِذْ ذَاكَ يَأْوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ لَهُ

    مِنْ سُؤْدَدٍ بَاهِرٍ كَالْبِيضِ فِي السُّودِ

    Then it finds refuge in his mighty pillar

    Of dazzling nobility, like white amid black.
