حقليَ اليوم سعيدٌ
برئيس الوزراءِ
My field today is happy
With the Prime Minister
مر في الركب عليه
بسلام الأنبياءِ
He passed by it
With the greetings of the Prophets
كاد يجري خلفه ما
فيه من ظلٍّ وماءِ
It almost ran after him with
Whatever shade and water it contained
وتلقت ثمرات ال
أرض عبء الأجراء
And the fruits of the
Land took on the burden of the tillers
فهي في الرخص حفاظٌ
وهي يسرٌ في الغلاء
So it is thrift in cheapness
And ease in expensiveness
فَكَّها من فَكَّ قومي
من قيود الغرماء
He released it from the shackles
That indebted peoples were bound in
ووقاها البيع جبراً
وهي في سوق القضاء
And protected it from forced sale
While in the market of justice
خرجت من بنك أرنس
تَ إلى بنك السماء
It came out of the Bank of England
To the Bank of the Heavens
تحمل الدين خفيفاً
في مواعيد الوفاء
Bearing a light debt
In terms of faithful payment
وسأبقى بعفافي
في سجل الأغنياء
And I will remain in my chastity
In the register of the wealthy
جلد الزارع عندي
وخيال الشعراء
The farmer's patience is with me
And the poet's imagination
