1. You began with kindness and followed with contentment
You made it three with goodness and four with generosity
١. بَدَأتَ بِإِحسانٍ وَثَنَّيتَ بِالرِضا
وَثَلَّثتَ بِالحُسنى وَرَبَّعتَ بِالكَرَم
2. You took care of my matter and met my need
You did not delay me but forwarded blessings to me
٢. وَباشَرتَ أَمري وَاِعتَنَيتَ بِحاجَتي
وَأَخَّرتَ لا عَنّي وَقَدَّمتَ لي نَعَم
3. You confirmed my hopes and fulfilled promises
You continued grace and remain ever generous
٣. وَصَدَّقتَ لي ظَنّاً وَأَنجَزتَ مَوعِداً
وَتابَعتَ بِالنُعمى وَما زِلتَ ذا كَرَم
4. If we requite, we are worthy of our aim
If we fall short, affection is not to be blamed
٤. فَإِن نَحنُ كافَأنا فَأَهلٌ لِقصدِنا
وَإِن نَحنُ قَصَّرنا فَما الوُدُّ مُتَّهَم
