أَنتَyou اِمرؤٌa man شُكريmy thanks لَهُto him واجِبٌobligatory
أَنتَ اِمرؤٌ شُكري لَهُ واجِبٌ
وَلَمand not أَكُنI was قَصَّرتُI fell short فيin واجِبِهhis due
وَلَم أَكُن قَصَّرتُ في واجِبِه
You are a man to whom my thanks are due,
You are a man I must thank
and I have not been remiss in my duty to him.
And I haven't been remiss in my duty to you
وَكَيفَand how لاnot أَشكُرُI thank مَنone who لاnot أَرىI see
وَكَيفَ لا أَشكُرُ مَن لا أَرى
فيin مَنزِلٍa home إِلّاexcept الَّذيwhat جادَhe was generous بِهِwith it
في مَنزِلٍ إِلّا الَّذي جادَ بِهِ
And how could I not thank one when I see nothing
And how could I not thank someone when I see
in a home except what he has generously given?
No one in any home who has given as much as you
