أَنا عَبدٌ لَكُمْ في كُلِّ وَقْتٍ

أَنا عَبدٌ لَكُمْ في كُلِّ وَقْتٍ

وَلَوْ أَصبَحْتُ عَلّامَ الزّمانِ

وَلَوْ أَصبَحْتُ عَلّامَ الزّمانِ

I am your servant at every moment,

I am your servant at all times

Even if I became the great scholar of the age.

Even if I were to become the most learned man of this age

فَلولاكُمْ لَما قَدْ رَقّ طَبعي

فَلولاكُمْ لَما قَدْ رَقّ طَبعي

وَلَم أَدْرِ الغِناءَ مِنَ المَثاني

وَلَم أَدْرِ الغِناءَ مِنَ المَثاني

For without you, my nature would not have grown gentle,

Without you, my nature would not have softened

Nor would I have known the song of the lute strings.

Nor would I have known singing from poetry

فَيَكْفيكَ الفَخارُ على البَرايا

فَيَكْفيكَ الفَخارُ على البَرايا

بِإِقْراري بِذلِكَ كُلَّ آنِ

بِإِقْراري بِذلِكَ كُلَّ آنِ

So you have glory enough over all creation,

So it is enough for you to take pride over mankind

Through my acknowledgment of that at every moment.

With my admission of that at all times
