1. كَفاني أَبو الأَشوَس المُنكَرات

    كَفاهُ الإِلَهُ الَّذي يَحذَرُ

    Abu al-Ashwas shielded me from evils;

    may God shield him from what he fears.

  2. أَعَزُّ مِنَ السّيِدِ في مَنصِبٍ

    إِلَيهِ العَزازَةُ وَالمَفخَرُ

    Mightier than a wolf upon a height,

    his are might and glory.
