Through hope of your generosity, poverty is driven away.
By your generous grace, poverty is banished
By hope of your bounty, poverty is driven away,
And through enmity toward you, life runs out.
And by your enmity, life itself runs out
And in your enmity, life’s span is cut short.

The glass took pride in your drinking from it.
So the glass fell because you drank from it
The glass took pride that you drank from its brim,
And the wine scorned whoever spurned it.
And you excused the one whom wine had overcome
While the wine rebuked the one who shunned it.

And you remained untouched by it, though it intoxicates us,
You remained sober though it intoxicated us
You remained safe from it while it conquered our wits,
So much so that intoxication seemed to fear you.
As if drunkenness itself had abandoned you
As though intoxication itself stood in awe of you.

No one is looked to for an act of generosity
No one hopes for an act of generosity
No one is besought for the granting of grace,
Except God and you, O Badr.
Except God, and you, O full moon
Save for the Lord God and you, O Badr.
