I made for your door—a custom of mine,

I approached your door, as I often do,

well known in times of financial hardship.

When destitute, as is my habit.

نعمَ اليمينُ تكفَّلت بيساري

So extend your right hand toward the pen, for it

So extend your right hand to the pen, as

is an excellent right hand: it has guaranteed my prosperity.

A right hand that has taken care of my left.
