فديْتُكَ قد وعْدتَ فقُلْ صريحاً

فديْتُكَ قد وعْدتَ فقُلْ صريحاً

متى يخضَرُّ للمَوعودِ عُودُ

متى يخضَرُّ للمَوعودِ عُودُ

May I be your ransom! You have promised, so tell me plainly:

I ransomed you, you promised, so speak candidly

When will a bough grow green for what was promised?

When will the promise bloom for the promised one?

وقلتَ الجودُ بالموجودِ شَرْطي

وقلتَ الجودُ بالموجودِ شَرْطي

فهلْ يرتاحُ للمَوجودِ جُودُ

فهلْ يرتاحُ للمَوجودِ جُودُ

And you said, “Generosity with what is at hand is my condition.”

You said: to find generosity in life is my condition-

So does generosity delight in what is at hand?

So will generosity find comfort in life?
