1. حَمدتكَ يا فَريد العَصر لَمّا

    رَأَيتك أَنتَ أَهلاً لِلمَفاخِر

    I praised you, O peerless one of the age, when

    I saw that you were worthy of honors.

  2. قَليل مَن وَفى لِلّه شُكرا

    وَأَنتَ بِنعمة المَنّان شاكِر

    Few are those who give God His due in thanks,

    And you are grateful for the Bountiful Giver’s blessing.
