أَعطَيتُ كُلَّ الناسِ مِن نَفسي الرِضا

إِلّا الحَسودَ فَإِنَّهُ أَعياني

I have given satisfaction to all people from my soul

Except for the envious one, for he has troubled me

لا أَنَّ لي ذَنباً لَدَيهِ عَلِمتُه

إِلّا تَظاهُرَ نِعمَةِ الرَحمَنِ

Not that I have sinned against him I knew

But for manifesting the Blessing of the Merciful

يَطوي عَلى حَنَقٍ حَشاهُ لِأَن رَأى

عِندي كَمالَ غِنىً وَفَضلَ بَيانِ

He folds his rancor that fills him for he saw

In me the perfection of riches and eloquence

ما إِن أَرى يُرضيهِ إِلّا ذِلَّتي

وَذَهابُ أَموالي وَقَطعُ لِساني

I see nothing satisfies him except my humiliation

And loss of my money and cutting off my tongue

فَسَأَستَعينُ بِخالِقي مَولى الوَرى

يَكفينا بِها مِنَ الشَيطانِ

So I will seek the help of my Creator, Master of Creation

He suffices us against the devil
