1. على بابك العالي أنَخْتُ مَطِيَّتِي

    وأنْتَ بِمَا أرْجُوهُ مِنْكَ عَلِيمُ

    At your lofty gate I made my mount kneel.

    And you know what I hope for from you.

  2. وحاشاك يا ذا الطَّوْلِ والمجد أن يُرى

    نَزِيلُكَ مَطْرُوداً وأنت كَرِيمُ

    And far be it from you, O possessor of bounty and glory, that anyone should see

    your guest driven away, while you are generous.
