1. نِعَمٌ شَواهِدُها عَلَيَّ كَثيرَةٌ

    فَلِسانُها يُطريكَ فيهِ لِساني

    Favors whose marks upon me are many—

    so in their tongue my tongue extols you.

  2. وَاللَهِ لا أَنسى حَديثَ قَديمَها

    إِن عُيِّرَ الإِنسانُ بِالنِسيانِ

    By God, I do not forget the tale of those long past,

    even if man is reproached for forgetfulness.
