O you whose affection is sincere towards me

يا من صفا منه لي وداد

1. O you whose affection is sincere towards me
And who is ever on the increase in the Highest

١. يا من صفا منهُ لي ودادُ
ومن لهُ في العلى ازديادُ

2. And who is protected by the banner on high
To him belongs the uniqueness of leadership in all the lands

٢. ومن لواءُ العلى حواهُ
لهُ به الورى انفرادُ

3. This, your servant, has come to you upright
Inclined towards obedience in every way

٣. ذا عبدُكم صالحٌ أتاكم
لهُ إلى الّطاعة انقيادُ

4. So treat him with kindness and turn a blind eye
For in doing so lies righteousness

٤. فحُسّن العذر منهُ واغضض
عنه ففي ذلك السّدادُ

5. His intention towards you has never been corrupted
Nor the intention of any upright soul

٥. ما فسدت نيّة عليكم
من صالح لا ولا مُرادُ

6. And have you ever heard that there comes a day
When from the righteous comes corruption?

٦. وهل سمعتم يكونُ يوماً
في الدّهر من صالح فسادُ
