No purpose ever sought the like of my humanity,

ما استطعم القصد مثل بشري

1. No purpose ever sought the like of my humanity,
Nor did any cat taste the like of my righteousness.

١. ما اِستَطعَمَ القَصدُ مِثلَ بِشري
قَطُّ وَلا ذاقَ مِثلَ بِرّي

2. Graces have I donned, from them
A brocade that spread the fame of my mention.

٢. مَكارِمٌ قَد لَبِستُ مِنها
ديباجَةً نَوَّهَت بِذِكري

3. I trail it, perfumed, and become,
Between praise and gratitude.

٣. أَسحَبُها رائِحاً فَأَغدو
بَينَ ثَناءٍ وَبَينَ شُكرِ

4. When the pride of a people climbs
With their munificence, it falls short of my pride.

٤. إِذا تَناهى فِخارُ قَومٍ
بِجودِهِم كانَ دونَ فَخري
