1. مني بواحدة إن كنت واحدتي

    وإنْ شفعتَ فإنَّ الشفع يشفع لي

    Favor me with one, if you are my one and only;

    And if you make it two, the pair will intercede for me.

  2. لو أنَّ لي كلّ ما في الكون من ذَهبٍ

    أصبحت ذا فاقة للجود غير ملي

    If all the gold in the universe were mine,

    I would become needy through generosity, not wealthy.

  3. وإنَّ ذلك من خلقي ومن شيمي

    ليس التكرُّم من شأني ومن عملي

    And indeed, that is part of my nature and my disposition;

    Affecting generosity is neither my way nor my practice.

  4. لو كان لي أملٌ في كلِّ ما ملكت

    يدي لما خانني في جمعه أملي

    If I had hope in all that was possessed

    By my hand, my hope would not have betrayed me in gathering it.

  5. إني لمن خيرِ آباءٍ لنا سلفوا

    لم يُعرفوا قطُّ بالإمساك والبخلِ

    Indeed, I descend from the best forefathers who came before us,

    Who were never known for withholding or miserliness.

  6. إني ورثتُ الذي في النفس من كرم

    عن الجدودِ وعن اسلافنا الأول

    Indeed, I inherited the generosity within my soul

    From forefathers and from our earliest ancestors.
