1. فأتى وفاؤكَ وهو أنسٌ ناضرٌ

    فأجارَني من صَرْفِ دَهرٍ جائرِ

    Then your faithfulness came, a radiant comfort,

    and sheltered me from the vicissitudes of an unjust age.

  2. فَلأشكُرَنَّكَ شكرَ رَوضٍ ناضرٍ

    سمحَ الغَمامُ له بغَيْثٍ باكرِ

    So I shall surely thank you with the gratitude of a verdant garden

    upon which the clouds have lavished early rain.
