1. وحق نصف اسمه الأخير لقد

    كنت له قديماً كأوله

    And by the sanctity of the latter half of his name, indeed

    I have long been to him like its first half.

  2. لا تولني من نداك فوق مدى

    شكري فتوهي قوى محمله

    Do not grant me of your bounty beyond the reach

    Of my gratitude, lest you sap its bearer's strength.
