قل لوزير الملك يا من به

تروي بلاد الشام عن نافع

Tell the minister of the king, O you who

Quench the lands of Syria with benefit-

حاشاك أن تروي النبات الذي

كم ارْتوى من غيثك الهامع

Far be it from you to quench the plants which

How much have been quenched by your brilliant rain-

وحقُّ إنعامك يا مالكي

مالي سوى عطفك من شافع

And truly your generosity, O Maliki

I have none but your kindness as intercessor
