أَفْحَمْتَني بِلطيفِ البِرِّ منك فما

أَدْرِي بأيِّ مكافأةٍ أُكافِيكا

You have silenced me with your gentle kindness, so I

Do not know with what reward I can repay you.

حارت براعة فهمي فيك فانحصرت

عن وصفِ مَعْنىً وحيدٍ من معانيكا

My skill in understanding you has been perplexed and confined

From describing any singular meaning of your meanings.

ماذا أُعَدِّده حتى أقومَ به

شُكْراً وأَذْكُره حتّى أُوَفِّيكا

What can I enumerate until I do it

As thanks and mention it until I fulfill for you.

إشراقُ وجهِك لي أم حُسْنُ فِعلك بي

أم انْبِسَاطُكَ نحوِي أم أَيادِيكا

Is it the radiance of your face to me or the beauty of your deed to me

Or your openness towards me or your hands?

الله جازِيك عني يا خليفته

جزاء مُقْتَدِرٍ واللهُ راعيكا

May Allah reward you in my stead, O His caliph,

The reward of an Able One, and Allah is your Guardian.
