1. I complained to Allah about my many children
And I said to Him, though I firmly believe in His Oneness,

2. Every year I gain a new child,
While You, my Lord, have not begotten a son in two thousand years.

3. Had You granted Jesus a thousand brothers from Yourself,
There would be ample room for them and more forever.

4. It is not the multitude of my children I abhor,
But only the hardship for them. So enrich them and grant them to me without count.
