1. الحَمُدُ لِلَّهِ اما بَعد يا عمر

    فَقَد اتَتنا بِكَ الحاجاتِ وَالقَدَر

    Praise be to God; now then, O Umar:

    For needs and fate have brought you to us.

  2. فَأَنتَ رَأس قُرَيش وَاِبن سَيدها

    وَالرَأس فيهِ يَكونُ السَمع وَالبَصَر

    For you are the head of Quraysh and the son of its chief,

    And in the head are hearing and sight.
