Your generous hands have bestowed on me

قد توالت علي منك أيادي

1. Your generous hands have bestowed on me
Bounties returning like streams to the valleys.

١. قَدْ تَوالَتْ عَلَيَّ مِنْكَ أَيادِي
عائِداتٍ بِالْمَكْرُماتِ بَوادِي

2. I care not if the youth pledge never
To shoot their arrows my way.

٢. ما أُبالِي إِذا تَعَهَّدْنَ مَغْنا
يَ بِأَنْ لا يَصُوبَ صَوْبُ الْعِهادِ

3. Again and again you allow me to taste
The sweetness of gifts from the hand of youth.

٣. وَالْجَمِيلُ الْمُعادُ أَحْلى وَإِنْ أَزْ
رَى بِشُكْرِي مِنَ الشَّبابِ الْمُعادِ

4. My praise, though it last, comes still
Short of your kindness so perfect in aim.

٤. ما ثَنائِي وَإِنْ تَطاوَلَ إِلاّ
دُونَ آلائِكَ الْحِسانِ الْمَرادِ

5. How complain of a hapless lot
When your care was by me in my plight?

٥. كَيْفَ اَشْكُو حَظَّاً عَلِيلاً وَحالاً
كانَ فِيها نَداكَ مِنْ عُوّادِي

6. Soon will I praise the steeds; for the steeds
Have brought to us the best of all steeds.

٦. سَوْفَ أُثْنِي عَلَى الجِيادِ فَقَدْ أَهْ
دَتْ إِلَيْنا الْجِيادُ خَيْرَ جَوادِ

7. Bearing from your land to our barren land
Gifts that have revived the bloom of our fields.

٧. حَمَلَتْ صَوْبَ مُزْنَةٍ مِنْ بِلادٍ
مِنْكَ أَحْيَتْ بِهِ رَبِيعَ بِلادِي

8. I used to seek the bounty of all the great;
But your bounty suffices me now in my need.

٨. كُنْتُ أَرتادُ جُودَ كُلِّ كَرِيمٍ
فَكَفى جُودُ راحَتَيْكَ ارْتِيادِي

9. A bountiful guest, you came and the seeker
Still hopes for your favor in every vale.

٩. زُرْتَنا مُنْعِماً وَما بَرِحَ الزّا
ئِرُ يَرْجُو الإِنْعامَ فِي كُلِّ وادِ

10. So the rain passes from the dusty plain,
And morning finds it clothed with flowers again.

١٠. وكَذاكَ الْحَيا يَرُوحُ مِنَ الْغَوْ
رِ وَتَغْدُو لَهُ بِنَجْدٍ غَوادِ

11. I owe you no right but the right of love,
Of speech in your praise, and affection sincere.

١١. لا أَرى لِي حَقَّاً عَلَيْكَ سِوى بِ
رِّكَ عِنْدِي وَمَنْطِقِي وَوِدادِي

12. And when disasters loom, pushing us near
Destruction, to the generous souls we steer.

١٢. وَإِذا ما الْخُطُوبُ كانَتْ شِداداً
دَفَعَتْنا إِلى الْكِرامِ الشِّدادِ
