1. سَيِّدٌ طالَ وَما في

    وَعدِهِ الصادِقِ طولُ

    A lord who has risen high, yet there is no

    delay in his truthful promise.

  2. وَلَهُ في الجودِ وَالمَج

    دِ فُروعٌ وَأُصولُ

    He has, in generosity and glo-

    ry, branches and roots.

  3. سَئِمَتهُ البيضُ وَالسُم

    رُ وَمَلَّتهُ الخُيولُ

    The gleaming swords have wearied of him, and the brown spea-

    rs; and the horses have tired of him.

  4. فَهوَ لِلأَهوالِ في الحَر

    بِ إِذا اِشتَدَّ حَمولُ

    So he, amid the terrors of wa-

    r when it grows fierce, bears them steadfastly.
