1. يا حبَّذا رتبةٌ تقلَّدها

    اهلٌ لما فوقها من التُحفِ

    Ah, how fine a rank, assumed

    by one worthy of the honors higher than it!

  2. ذو رُتبةٍ فوقها مؤَرَّخةً

    قد فازَ عزّاً برتبةِ الشرفِ

    A man of a higher rank, its date recorded:

    He has indeed won glory through the rank of honor.
