1. People pay you respects out of obligation
While I cherish you by my own choice

2. Some are neighbors to each other
While you’ll be my neighbor till I die

3. So bestow grace upon my bread and water
And bestow grace upon my home and family

4. O He whose kindness has allowed me to reach the skies
In power and ease

5. Today Qarun is my slave in his riches
And Kisra is at the step of my door
