فَمَن كانَ لا يَأتيكَ إِلّا لِحاجَةٍ

يَروحُ لَها حَتّى تُقَضّى وَيَغتَدي

So one who comes to you only when he needs something,

He'll keep coming to you until his needs are met, then he is done with you.

فَإِنّي لَآتيكُم تَشَكُّرَ ما مَضى

مِنَ البِرِّ وَاِستيحابَ ما كانَ في غَدٍ

As for me, I come to thank you for your past kindness,

And to ask you to renew it in days to come.
