Your gratitude in creation was never absolute

لم يغد شكرك في الخلائق مطلقا

1. Your gratitude in creation was never absolute,
Except that your possession in attainment was imprisoned,

١. لَمْ يَغْدُ شُكرُكَ في الخَلائِقِ مطلقاً
إِلا ومالُكَ في النَّوالِ حَبيسُ

2. You granted us a sun and a moon that shone brightly
With them the darkness to us was dispelled

٢. خَوَّلْتَنا شَمْساً وبَدْراً أَشْرَقَتْ
بِهِما لَدَيْنا الظُّلْمَةُ الحِنْديسُ

3. Joseph arose beautiful to us
And a gazelle she was a delight to Balqis

٣. رشأ أَتانا وهو حسناً يُوسُفٌ
وغَزَالَةٌ هي بَهْجَةً بَلْقيسُ

4. This and that and these did not satisfy you
Until you sent wealth and it is precious

٤. هَذا ولَمْ تَقْنَعْ بِذاكَ وهَذِهِ
حَتَّى بَعَثْتَ المالَ وهُوَ نَفيسُ

5. The maidservant came carrying a full moon
And the purse came on the back of the groom

٥. أَتَتِ الوَصِيفَةُ وهي تَحْمِلُ بَدْرَةً
وأَتى عَلى ظَهْرِ الوَصيفِ الكِيسُ

6. And you clothed us from what Egypt knitted
And Tinnis increased its beauty

٦. وَكَسَوْتَنا مِمّا أَجادَتْ حَوْكَهُ
مِصْرٌ وزَادَتْ حُسْنُهُ تِنّيسُ

7. So from your generosity we had edibles and
Beverages, spouses and clothes

٧. فَغَدا لَنا من جودِكَ المَأْكُولُ وال
مَشْروبُ والمَنْكُوحُ والمَلْبوسُ
