1. قَيِّدِ النّعمَة في شُكرٍ لَها

    ما سِوى الشّكرِ شكّالِ النّعمِ

    Bind gratitude with thanks for it

    Naught but thanks can shape grace’s form

  2. إِنْ تَدعْ شُكراً عَلَيها هَرَبَت

    وَندمتَ الدّهرَ كلَّ النّدمِ

    If you lack in thanks for it, it fled

    And you'll regret it, regret supreme
