1. Whatever report of your servant you received
You welcomed with love and embraced it
١. ما جاءَ عَبدَكَ مَسطورٌ بَعَثتَ بِهِ
إِلّا تَقَبَّلَهُ حُبّاً وَقَبَّلَهُ
2. And no promise you hoped for from him
Without viewing it with favor and delaying it
٢. وَلا سَمَحتَ بِوَعدٍ فيهِ مُرتَقَبٍ
إِلّا تَأَمَّلَهُ عَشراً وَأَمَّلَهُ
3. And no excuse for his tardiness came to you
Except you accepted it with gentleness and excused it
٣. وَلا أُتيتَ بِعُذرٍ عَن تَأَخُّرِهِ
إِلّا تَعَلَّلَ بِاللُقيا وَعَلَّلَهُ
4. It would not harm my Master if words about him increased
Or if the best was prolonged and extended for him
٤. ما ضَرَّ مَولايَ لَو زادَ الخِطابُ بِهِ
وَلَو تَطَوَّلَ بِالحُسنى وَطَوَّلَهُ
