1. أَيا سَيِّداً مازالَ يُولِي جَمِيلَهُ

    وَمِن فَضلِهِ أَن خَصَّنِي مِنهُ بِالتُحَف

    O master who has never ceased to bestow his kindness,

    Among whose favors is singling me out for precious gifts from him.

  2. سَلَكتَ مِنَ الإِحسانِ بِي كلَّ وجهَةٍ

    سِوى خَصلَةٍ كَمَّلتَها الآنَ بالظَرَف

    You have led me along every path of kindness,

    Save one quality, which you have now perfected with refinement.

  3. تَنازَلتَ إِحساناً بِها وَتَفَضُّلا

    كَما هِي عاداتُ الكِرامِ ذَوِي الشَرَف

    You deigned to offer it out of kindness and generosity,

    As is the custom of generous people of honor.

  4. فَزِن بِقَبُولٍ ما بِها من طَرافَةٍ

    فَلا زالَ لِي مِن بَحرِ عَلياكَ مُغتَرَف

    So adorn with your acceptance whatever charm it holds;

    And may I always have a draught from the sea of your eminence.
