You are the most generous to all who give gifts,

أمولى كل من يولي الهبات

1. You are the most generous to all who give gifts,
And have the longest hand in acts of kindness,

١. أَمَوْلَى كلِّ مَنْ يُولي الهِبَاتِ
وأطْوَلَهُمْ يَداً في المَكْرمَاتِ

2. And are the most forthcoming when the year is barren,
When the udders of she-camels giving milk run dry,

٢. وأنْداهُمْ إذَا مَا كَانَ عَامٌ
تَجُفُّ بِهِ ضُرُوعُ الغَادِيَاتِ

3. Your right hand never tires of giving,
It solves the most tangled affairs,

٣. يَمينُكَ لا يَشلُّ لَهَا بَنَانٌ
تَحُلُّ عُرَى الأُمُورِ المُشْكَلاتِ

4. And you are the most deserving of praise among people
For your outstanding merit and remoteness from reproach.

٤. وأنتَ أَحَقُّ النَّاسِ طُرّاً
بِفَضلِ ثَناً وأبْعدُ عن هَنَاتِ

5. Why do you deny this people favor
And kindness while neglecting my prayers?

٥. علامَ تعُمَّ هذا الناسَ فضْلاً
وإحساناً وتُعرِضُ عن صِلاَتي

6. If you rely on my asking,
You will not attain it until death.

٦. فإنْ أنتَ اتَّكلتَ على سُؤالي
فلنْ تحْظَى به حتى المَمَات

7. My face has not been unveiled to others,
Nor have my desires been unlocked by entreaties.

٧. فلم يُكْشَفْ لغيرِكَ حُرُّ وجهي
ولم تُفْتَحْ بمَسْأَلةٍ لَهاتي
