وكيفَ أُؤدِّي شَكرَ من إن شكرتُهُ

على بِرِّ يَومٍ زادَني مِثلَهُ غَدا

How can I give thanks, when if I gave thanks

For kindness on one day, he added more the next?

فإن رُمت أقضي اليَومَ الَّذي مَضى

رَأَيتُ لهُ فَضلاً عَلَيَّ مُجددا

For if I wished to repay the day that passed,

I would see new bounty from him ever renewed
