1. أميرٌ أهامَ الفضلَ في ما بذاتهِ

    مِن الفضلِ حُرٌّ اسمُهُ الفضلُ في المَلا

    A prince who has enraptured excellence with what lies within him

    Of excellence—a nobleman whose name among the people is al-Fadl.

  2. لهُ دُرُّ نظمي قد أتاهَ قريحتي

    أغرُّ حكى نظمَ القلائدِ بالطُّلا

    His are the pearls of my verse, which have dazzled my poetic gift—

    Radiant, like necklaces strung around necks.
