حَبَّب الْفقُرَ إِلَيْنَا

حَبَّب الْفقُرَ إِلَيْنَا

مِنْكِ إِحْسَانٌ شَرِيفُ

مِنْكِ إِحْسَانٌ شَرِيفُ

Poverty was made dear to us

Poverty has endeared us

By a noble kindness from you;

Through your noble kindness

فَاشْتَهَى المُوسِرُ مِنَّا

فَاشْتَهَى المُوسِرُ مِنَّا

أَنَّه عَاف يَطُوفُ

أَنَّه عَاف يَطُوفُ

So the wealthy man among us wished

Thus the wealthy among us

That he were a beggar roaming about.

Yearn for destitution to surround them
