1. O Khaled, of everlasting kingdom, gives
Only gifts of lasting renown.

2. Bestow upon me my possessions which I acquired
With the noblest of prices, my lifetime.

3. I spent therein every beloved thing,
Whose absence grieves my poetry.

4. So everything I own except my farm
Cannot mend the tear of poverty,

5. And compared to your generosity,
It is but a bird's beakful from the sea.
