أَيا سَيِّداً مازالَ يُولِي جَمِيلَهُ

وَمِن فَضلِهِ أَن خَصَّنِي مِنهُ بِالتُحَف

O master who still bestows his generosity

And from his bounty he gifted me with presents

سَلَكتَ مِنَ الإِحسانِ بِي كلَّ وجهَةٍ

سِوى خَصلَةٍ كَمَّلتَها الآنَ بالظَرَف

You have treated me kindly in every possible way

Except one quality you have now perfected with this gift

تَنازَلتَ إِحساناً بِها وَتَفَضُّلا

كَما هِي عاداتُ الكِرامِ ذَوِي الشَرَف

You have graciously granted it out of kindness and nobility

As is the custom of honorable and virtuous people

فَزِن بِقَبُولٍ ما بِها من طَرافَةٍ

فَلا زالَ لِي مِن بَحرِ عَلياكَ مُغتَرَف

So accept with appreciation its charm

For I still draw from your lofty sea
