1. أَنا السابق الرَحب الخُطا في التَأدب

    أَنا الماهر المَشهور في كُلِ مَذهب

    I am foremost, broad of stride in literary cultivation.

    I am the adept, renowned in every field.

  2. تَروح بِآدابي الرِكاب وَتَغتَدي

    وَقَد شُهرت في كل شَرقٍ وَمَغرب

    The riding camels carry my writings at evening and at dawn,

    And they have become renowned throughout East and West.
