1. أقَلُّ نَوالٍ مِنكَ يجبُرُ إقلالي

    ويُنعِشُ آمالي ويدعَمُ أحوالي

    The least bounty from you remedies my poverty,

    And revives my hopes and sustains my fortunes.

  2. وقد مسَّني بالضُّرِّ دهري وعزَّني

    وعِزُّكَ لا يرضى بِذلَّةِ أمثالي

    My fate has afflicted me with adversity and overpowered me,

    And your honor will not tolerate the humiliation of those like me.

  3. فأنْعِمْ برأيٍ طالِعِ السَّعدِ مُشرِقٍ

    فرأيْكَ شمسٌ في مطالِعِ آمالي

    So favor me with a radiant decision, auspicious in its rising,

    For your decision is a sun on the horizons of my hopes.
