1. My lord has favors too great to count
Far more than any man could describe
١. لِمولايَ عندي أيادٍ تَجلُّ
وتكثُرُ عن صِفَةِ الواصِفِ
2. So let no one question what I cannot repay
Of the boons he granted me just now
٢. فلا يَقدِحَنِّي بما لا أُطي
قُ من شُطرِ معَروفِهِ الآنفِ
3. For my debt of gratitude is full
With the kindness he has shown before
٣. فذِمَّةُ شُكري مشغولَةٌ
بعُهدَةِ إحسانِهِ السّالِفِ
