1. My hands have led me, with their gift of bounty
To a sweet, flowing spring in a meadow.   
١. لِكَفّيَ أَهدى في نَداها مِنَ العَطا
 إِلى موردٍ عَذبٍ عَلى بَوحِ
2. If others fail to sing my praises,
I raise my brow in self-congratulation. 
٢. إِذا أَبطَل الأَملاك غَيري لِلثَنا
 فَإِنّيَ وَضّاحُ الجَبين إِلى المَدحِ
3. And though each man may commit some crime against me,
I repay the wrong with forgiveness. 
٣. وَكُلُّ امرىءٍ يَجني عَليَّ جَريمَةً
 فَإِنّي أُجازيه عَلى الذَنبِ بِالصَفحِ
