1. قالوا لخِدْمتِهِ دَعاكَ محمّدٌ

    فكرِهْتَها وزِهِدْتَ في التّنْويهِ

    They said: “Muhammad called you to his service,

    so you disliked it and had no desire for acclaim.”

  2. فأجَبْتُهُمْ أنا والمُهيْمِنِ كارِهٌ

    في خِدْمَةِ الموْلَى مُحِبٌّ فيهِ

    I answered them: “By the Guardian, I am averse

    to serving the master, yet fond of him.”
