1. تَاللَهِ إِلّا ما قَبِلتَ هَدِيَّتي

    وَجَعَلتَ لي فَضلاً عَلى الأَقرانِ

    By God, do accept my gift,

    and grant me distinction over my peers.

  2. فَالبَحرُ تَنشَأُ مِنهُ كُلُّ سَحابَةٍ

    صَدرَت وَيَقبَلُ فاضِلَ الغُدرانِ

    For from the sea arises every cloud

    that has gone forth; and the sea accepts the pools' surplus.
