قَد تَجاسَرتُ وَفيكَ المُحتَمَل

قَد تَجاسَرتُ وَفيكَ المُحتَمَل

وَلَعَمري أَنتَ أَعلى وَأَجَلّ

وَلَعَمري أَنتَ أَعلى وَأَجَلّ

I have indeed been bold, yet in you there is forbearance.

I have dared though within you lies the possibility

And, by my life, you are loftier and more exalted.

By my life, you are the highest and most glorious

ماعَسى يَفعَلُ مَولىً مُحسِنٌ

ماعَسى يَفعَلُ مَولىً مُحسِنٌ

بِمُحِبٍّ قَد جَنى فيما فَعَل

بِمُحِبٍّ قَد جَنى فيما فَعَل

What might a benevolent master do

What might a benevolent patron do

to a lover who has transgressed in what he did?

To a lover who did what he has done

فَتَفَضَّل بِقَبولٍ حَسَنٍ

فَتَفَضَّل بِقَبولٍ حَسَنٍ

فَلَكَ الفَضلُ قَديماً لَم يَزَل

فَلَكَ الفَضلُ قَديماً لَم يَزَل

So favor me with gracious acceptance,

So please accept gracefully

for generosity has long been yours and has never ceased.

For the favor has always been yours from the start

خَلِّها عِندي يَداً مَشكورَةً

خَلِّها عِندي يَداً مَشكورَةً

وَأَضِفها لِأَياديكَ الأُوَل

وَأَضِفها لِأَياديكَ الأُوَل

Let it remain with me as a gratefully acknowledged favor,

Consider it for me an appreciated hand

and add it to your earlier favors.

And add it to your first hands
