أنتَ الذي أَوْليتَني منناً

أنتَ الذي أَوْليتَني منناً

أنا كالحمامِ وهنَّ أطواقي

أنا كالحمامِ وهنَّ أطواقي

You are the one who bestowed favors upon me.

You are the one who bestowed blessings upon me

I am like a dove, and they are my neck-rings.

I am like a dove, and my wings are weak

وتمسّكتْ بعُرا نداكَ يدي

وتمسّكتْ بعُرا نداكَ يدي

وتماسكتْ بعُلاكَ أرماقي

وتماسكتْ بعُلاكَ أرماقي

And my hand clung to the loops of your generosity.

And my hands clung to the cord of your generosity

And my lingering life was sustained by your eminence.

And my eyelids clung to your heights

وبِضاعتي نفقتْ لديكَ وكَمْ

وبِضاعتي نفقتْ لديكَ وكَمْ

كسدتْ لدى الجُهّالِ أَسواقي

كسدتْ لدى الجُهّالِ أَسواقي

And my wares sold readily with you—and how often

And I spent my wares with you, and how much

My markets languished among the ignorant!

My markets were stagnant with the ignorant

فنشرتُ مدحَكَ حسبَ مقدرتي

فنشرتُ مدحَكَ حسبَ مقدرتي

وعَلَكْتُ شُكركَ ملءَ أشْداقي

وعَلَكْتُ شُكركَ ملءَ أشْداقي

So I spread praise of you to the best of my ability,

So I spread your praise according to my ability

And chewed words of thanks to you, filling my mouth.

And I filled my breaths to the brim with gratitude to you
