1. يا مُطرِيَ المَولى الرَفيعِ الذُرا

    نِلتَ المُنى فَاِنزِل بِوادٍ خَصيب

    O you who extol the lord of lofty heights,

    You have attained your wishes; so alight in a fertile valley.

  2. يا واقِفاً بَين مغاني اللِوى

    فَتَحتَ بِالأَغزالِ بابَ الحَبيب

    O you who stand among the dwellings of al-Liwa,

    You have opened the beloved’s door with love poems.

  3. يا ساقيَ النَدمانِ حَسبى الذي

    يُرَدِّدُ الشاعرُ ساقي الأَريب

    O cupbearer to the boon companion, enough for me is what

    The poet, my discerning cupbearer, repeats.

  4. يا شعراءَ العَصر جوزيتُمُ

    خيراً عن الإِحسانِ قُل يا خَطيب

    O poets of the age, may you be rewarded

    With good for your kindness—say so, O orator.
