1. يا قَصر كَم صحبتك مِن نعم

    مَوصولة المُكرَمات وَالدُوَلِ

    O palace, how many blessings have accompanied you,

    With honors and good fortune unbroken!

  2. قَضيت فيكَ الصِبا وَفي كَبدي

    هَوى عَلَيهِ الحِسان في جَدَل

    I spent my youth within you, and in my liver was

    A love over which the beauties were in dispute.
