1. تَظاهَرَ في الدُنيا بِأَشرَفِ ظاهِرٍ

    فَلَم تَرَ أَنقى مِنهُ غَيرَ ضَميرِهِ

    He appeared in the world with the noblest outward bearing;

    so you have seen nothing purer than it save his inner self.

  2. كَفانِيَ فَخراً أَن أُسَمّى بِعَبدِهِ

    وَحَسبِيَ هَدياً اَن أَسيرَ بِنورِهِ

    It is pride enough for me to be called his servant,

    and guidance enough for me to walk by his light.

  3. فَأَيُّ أَميرٍ لَيسَ يَشرُفُ قَدرُهُ

    إِذا ما دَعاهُ صادِقاً بِأَميرِهِ

    For what prince would not be ennobled in rank

    if he truthfully called him his prince?
