فَلَو كانَ يَستَغني عَنِ الشُكرِ ماجِدٌ

فَلَو كانَ يَستَغني عَنِ الشُكرِ ماجِدٌ

لِعِزَّةِ نَفسٍ أَو عُلُوِّ مَكانِ

لِعِزَّةِ نَفسٍ أَو عُلُوِّ مَكانِ

For if a noble man had no need of gratitude,

If Majid could have done without thanks

Because of dignity of soul or loftiness of station,

For his self-pride or rank’s height,

لَما أَمَرَ اللَهُ الحَكيم بِشُكرِه

لَما أَمَرَ اللَهُ الحَكيم بِشُكرِه

فَقالَ اِشكُروا لي أَيُّها الثَقلانِ

فَقالَ اِشكُروا لي أَيُّها الثَقلانِ

God the Wise would not have commanded gratitude to Him,

God the Wise would not have ordered giving thanks to Him

Saying, “Give thanks to Me, O humankind and jinn!”

When He said: "Give thanks to Me, O twin burdens."
