فديت مولى خالني مقتراً

فديت مولى خالني مقتراً

فعمني بالنائل الغامر

فعمني بالنائل الغامر

May I be ransom for a patron who thought me poor,

I sacrifice myself for my Master who visited me,

then showered me with overflowing bounty.

And favored me with abundant rain,

لم يرض بالأرض على قدره

لم يرض بالأرض على قدره

فجاد لي بالفلك الدائرِ

فجاد لي بالفلك الدائرِ

He deemed the earth too little for his stature,

He was not satisfied with giving me what I deserved,

so he bestowed on me the revolving celestial sphere.

So he bestowed on me the revolving heavens,

فراح مدحي في علا مجده

فراح مدحي في علا مجده

مشتهراً كالمثل السائر

مشتهراً كالمثل السائر

Thus my praise, amid the heights of his glory,

Thus my praise of his glorious eminence soared,

became renowned, like a widely repeated proverb.

And spread far and wide like a well-known proverb.
