1. أميرُنا زاهدٌ والنّاسُ قد زَهِدُوا

    لَه فكلّ على الطّاعاتِ مُنكمِشُ

    Our prince is an ascetic, and the people have become ascetics

    On his account; everyone is intent on acts of devotion.

  2. أيّامُه مثلَ شَهر الصّوْمِ طاهرةٌ

    من المعَاصِي وفيهَا الجوعُ والعطَشُ

    His days, like the month of fasting, are pure,

    Free from sins, and in them are hunger and thirst.
