1. Noble when you come seeking his favor
He welcomes you with all that his palms contain
١. كَريمٌ إِذا ما جِئتَ طالِبَ فَضلِهِ
حَباكَ بِما تَحوي عَلَيهِ أَنامِلُه
2. For if he had naught but his spirit in his palm
He would give it. So let his asker beware of God.
٢. فَلَو لَم يَكُن في كَفِّهِ غَيرُ روحِهِ
لَجادَ بِها فَليَتَّقِ اللَّهَ سائِلُه
3. No virtue of glory was sent into the two worlds
Save his glory and his virtues.
٣. وَما بعثت في العالَمينَ فَضيلَةٌ
مِنَ المَجدِ إِلّا مَجدُهُ وَفَضائِلُه
