1. I am your servant at all times
Even if I were to become the most learned man of this age
١. أَنا عَبدٌ لَكُمْ في كُلِّ وَقْتٍ
وَلَوْ أَصبَحْتُ عَلّامَ الزّمانِ
2. Without you, my nature would not have softened
Nor would I have known singing from poetry
٢. فَلولاكُمْ لَما قَدْ رَقّ طَبعي
وَلَم أَدْرِ الغِناءَ مِنَ المَثاني
3. So it is enough for you to take pride over mankind
With my admission of that at all times
٣. فَيَكْفيكَ الفَخارُ على البَرايا
بِإِقْراري بِذلِكَ كُلَّ آنِ
