1. First, my master may bestow upon me
With a gesture of good taste
١. أَوَّلاً يَجوزُ لِسَيِّدي فَيَجودُ لي
بِإِشارَةٍ تَبدو مِنَ الذَوقِ السَليمِ
2. Let me be, I'm not afraid
Except from turning away, by God the Great
٢. دَعني مِنَ الإِعراضِ لَستُ بِخائِفِ
إِلّا مِنَ الإِعراضِ وَاللَهُ العَظيمِ
3. I am his servant, and as I know my adequacy
Is his approval, a great favor from God
٣. اَنا عَبدُهُ وَكَما عَلِمتُ كِفايَتي
مِنهُ الرِضى فَضلٌ مِنَ اللَهِ جَسيمِ
4. As for silence, after that I consider it
A rejection, may The Merciful have mercy on us
٤. أَمّا السُكوتُ فَبَعدَ ذاكَ أُعِدُّهُ
رَدّاً عَلى الأَعقابِ يَرحَمُنا الرَحيمِ
5. But I am confident in his forgiveness
Despite the enemies and every accursed devil
٥. لَكِنَّني أَنا واثِقٌ بِسَماحِهِ
رَغمَ العِداةَ وَكُلُّ شَيطانٍ رَجيمِ
