1. يكلفني مولايَ رجعَ جوابه

    وما لتعاطي المعجزات وماليا

    My lord charges me with sending him a reply.

    But what have I to do with attempting miracles?

  2. أجيبك للفضل الذي أنت أهلُه

    وأكتب مما قد أفدت الأماليا

    I answer you for the excellence of which you are worthy.

    And I write out dictations from what you have imparted.

  3. فأنت الذي طوَّقْتَني كل منة

    وأحسبت آمالي وأكسبت ماليا

    For you are the one who has hung every favor about my neck.

    And you have satisfied my hopes and increased my wealth.

  4. وأنت الذي أعدى الزمانَ كمالُهُ

    وصيَّرت أحرارَ الزمان مَواليا

    And you are the one whose perfection has spread through the age.

    And you have made the freemen of the age into bondsmen.

  5. فلا زلت للفعل الجميل مواصلاً

    ولا زلتَ للشكر الجزيل مُواليا

    May you ever persevere in noble deeds,

    And may you ever remain steadfast in abundant gratitude.
