وَلَوْ كانَ لِي مِلءُ الْبَسيطَةِ أَلْسُنٌ

وَلَوْ كانَ لِي مِلءُ الْبَسيطَةِ أَلْسُنٌ

أُديمُ بها شُكْرِي لَما قُمْتُ بالشُّكْرِ

أُديمُ بها شُكْرِي لَما قُمْتُ بالشُّكْرِ

And even if I had tongues enough to fill the earth,

And if I had tongues filling the whole earth

with which to offer my thanks unceasingly, I would still not have given thanks enough.

I would spend them in gratitude, though I fell short

وكَيْفَ وقَدْ يَسَّرْتَ لِي كُلَّ مَطْلَبٍ

وكَيْفَ وقَدْ يَسَّرْتَ لِي كُلَّ مَطْلَبٍ

وأعْطَيْتَني من حَيْثُ أدْري ولا أدرِي

وأعْطَيْتَني من حَيْثُ أدْري ولا أدرِي

And how could I, when you have made every pursuit easy for me,

And how not, when You have made every desire easy

and given to me from sources I know and do not know?

And granted me from where I know and where I don’t know

ونِلْتُ مِنَ الإحْسانِ مالَوْ أقَلُّهُ

ونِلْتُ مِنَ الإحْسانِ مالَوْ أقَلُّهُ

يُوازِنُ قَدْرِي كانَ أكْثَر منْ قَدْرِي

يُوازِنُ قَدْرِي كانَ أكْثَر منْ قَدْرِي

And I have received such kindness that, if its smallest portion

And I attained favors whose least

were weighed against my worth, it would exceed my worth.

Would equal my worth, yet are greater than me
