احبه لو اني ما اشوفه كل يوم
واعشق شموخه وهيبته ومواطيه
شيخا (ن) حط بين الحنايا غيوم
تمطر حبن لأرضا(ن) عطشانه تلاقيه
هونت عن حب هلي والانام
واصحى اذكر عيونه وقلبه وحكاويه
ماشفت من الخلق في الطبع شرواه
زايد ابن حمدان جعل قلبي يفديه
هو من سلبني سلب طيرا (ن) للحمام
جعله في كف ملك والناس تفديه
...
ماراق لي في حب زايد
((زايد وياكبر الغلا كبراه في وسط الصدور ))
