وسائلُ النَّاسِ شَتّى عِندَ سادَتِهِمْ

وسائلُ النَّاسِ شَتّى عِندَ سادَتِهِمْ

ولي وسائلُ آدابي وآمالي

ولي وسائلُ آدابي وآمالي

People's means of approaching their lords are varied;

The people's means are diverse with their masters

And mine are my learning and my hopes.

And my means are my manners and my hopes

فاسحَبْ ببِرِّكَ أذيالاً على أملي

فاسحَبْ ببِرِّكَ أذيالاً على أملي

أسحَبْ بشُكرِكَ ما عُمِّرْتُ أذيالي

أسحَبْ بشُكرِكَ ما عُمِّرْتُ أذيالي

So trail the hems of your kindness over my hope;

So draw with your righteousness the train on my hope

I shall trail my hems in gratitude to you for as long as I live.

Draw with your gratitude what my train has lived
