سأشكر لا أني أجازيك منعماً

سأشكر لا أني أجازيك منعماً

بشكري ولكن كي يقال له الشكر

بشكري ولكن كي يقال له الشكر

I shall give thanks—not that I repay you for your bounty

I thank not to reward you with favor

with my thanks, but so that it may be said: “To him be thanks.”

But thank you so it may be said: Give thanks!

واذكر أيا من لديك وحسنها

واذكر أيا من لديك وحسنها

وآخر ما يبقى على الشاكر الذكر

وآخر ما يبقى على الشاكر الذكر

And remember—O one who is with you—and its beauty [wording unclear].

And speak of the good in those you know

And the last duty remaining for the grateful one is remembrance.

For gratitude is what remains with the grateful
