1. بعضُ من غارَمَني لازَمَني

    ثُم قَد أَصبَحَ يَدعوني إِلَيك

    One of my creditors has kept after me,

    then he began summoning me before you.

  2. وعَلى جُودِكَ عَوَّلتُ به

    مثل ما عَوَّل في الحُكمِ عَلَيك

    And I relied on your generosity in dealing with him,

    just as he relied on you for judgment.

  3. وكِلانا أيُّها القاضِي عَلَى

    ثِقَةٍ مِنكَ بِما نَرجو لدَيك

    And both of us, O judge, are

    confident in you for what we hope to find with you.

  4. فتُخلِّص من يَدَيهِ خائِفاً

    خافَ أَن يُحضِرَهُ بينَ يَدَيك

    So free a frightened man from his hands,

    who feared he would be brought before you.

  5. فعَسى عندكَ ما تكنَى بهِ

    وعَسى لي راحَةٌ مِن راحَتَيك

    So may you have what your byname signifies,

    and may I find relief from your two palms.
