1. أيا مَن طبَّقَ الآفاقَ ذِكرَا

    وعمَّ نَوالهُ بَراًّ وبَحرَا

    O you whose renown has filled the horizons,

    And whose bounty has spread over land and sea,

  2. أُكابِدُ يومَهُ فَقراً مثريعاً

    أَانتَ بِجانِبي وأخافُ فَقرا

    In his day, I endure dreadful poverty.

    Are you beside me, and yet I fear poverty?
