مَجدي غلامك يَرجو أَن تَجود لَهُ

بِخدمة لِشَفيق حَسبما وَعَدا

My glorious master, your servant hopes for your generosity

With a service to a compassionate one as you had promised

إِذ أَنتَ أَوليتَني مِن غَير مسألة

ما لَم يَكُن في حِسابي قَط ما وَرَدا

Since you have granted me without asking

What had never occurred in my calculations

وَكَيفَ أَخشى صُروف الحادِثات ولى

مِنكَ الذمام وَقَصدي لا يَضيع سُدى

And how can I fear the turns of events, while I have

Your protection, and my purpose does not go in vain

وَأَنتَ غَيث بِلا وَعد وَلا ضَرر

يروي نَزيلاً إِلى جَدواه مَدّ يدا

You are a rain without promise or harm

That waters a settler to his palms outstretched

وَلَم تَكُن مِنكَ عَين العَدل نائِمَةً

عَن خادمٍ لَم يَخف ظُلماً وَلا نَكدا

Your eye of justice was not sleeping

From a servant who did not fear injustice or misery

عَن خادمٍ في إِقاماتٍ وَفي سَفَرٍ

بِمَدحك اِزداد مَجداً يَزدَهي أَبَدا

From a servant in residences and in travel

With praising you, my glory grows forever

لا زلت يا حافظ العَلياء تَمنحني

جاهاً وَتَجعل لي بَين الوَرى مَددا

You still, oh protector of the noble, grant me

Prestige and make for me among people support

ما طابَ لي في مَعاليك الثَناء وَما

عَلَيك راجيك بعد الخالق اِعتَمَدا

Good for me was not praising you, and my

Reliance after the Creator was not on you
