1. يا سيدا يَدُه عَمَّتْ نَوافلُها

    ونفسُه فوقَ أنْ تُحْصَى فَضائلُها

    O master, whose hand's bounties have reached all,

    and whose soul's virtues are beyond counting,

  2. انظرْ لنيلوفرٍ غَضٍّ بدا فحَكى

    سواعدَ الغيدِ قد ضُمَّتْ أَناملُها

    look at a tender water lily that appeared and resembled

    the forearms of graceful maidens, their fingertips drawn together.
