1. وإني على بعد الديار وربها

    وتغيير مغتاب وتغيير عاتبِ

    And I, despite the remoteness of the dwellings and their lord,

    And the changes wrought by a backbiter and those wrought by a reproacher,

  2. لشاكر ما أسديته من مكارم

    وآثر ما أبديته من مناقب

    Am indeed thankful for the acts of generosity you have bestowed,

    And recount the virtues you have revealed.
