1. خالَفْتُ قَوْمِيَ فِي دِينِهُمْ

    خِلافَ صَبا الرِّيحِ جاءَتْ جَنُوبا

    I differed from my people in their religion,

    As the east wind differs from a wind coming from the south.

  2. أُرَجِّي الْإِلَهَ وَغُفْرانَهُ

    وَيَرْجُونَ دِرهَمُهُمْ وَالْجَرِيبا

    I place my hope in God and His forgiveness,

    And they hope for their dirham and the jarīb.
