1. أَحمُدُ رَبّي عَلى خِصالِ

    خَصَّ بِها سادَةَ الرِجالِ

    I praise my Lord for qualities

    with which He has favored the noblest of men:

  2. لَزومُ صَبرٍ وَخَلعُ كِبرٍ

    وَصَونُ عِرضٍ وِبَذلُ مالِ

    holding fast to patience and casting off pride,

    and safeguarding honor and freely giving wealth.
