1. You have silenced me with your gentle kindness, so I
Do not know with what reward I can repay you.
١. أَفْحَمْتَني بِلطيفِ البِرِّ منك فما
أَدْرِي بأيِّ مكافأةٍ أُكافِيكا
2. My skill in understanding you has been perplexed and confined
From describing any singular meaning of your meanings.
٢. حارت براعة فهمي فيك فانحصرت
عن وصفِ مَعْنىً وحيدٍ من معانيكا
3. What can I enumerate until I do it
As thanks and mention it until I fulfill for you.
٣. ماذا أُعَدِّده حتى أقومَ به
شُكْراً وأَذْكُره حتّى أُوَفِّيكا
4. Is it the radiance of your face to me or the beauty of your deed to me
Or your openness towards me or your hands?
٤. إشراقُ وجهِك لي أم حُسْنُ فِعلك بي
أم انْبِسَاطُكَ نحوِي أم أَيادِيكا
5. May Allah reward you in my stead, O His caliph,
The reward of an Able One, and Allah is your Guardian.
٥. الله جازِيك عني يا خليفته
جزاء مُقْتَدِرٍ واللهُ راعيكا
