بروحي سيداً ما كا

نَ للسّادات يُحْوِجُني

My spirit was never

a master that needed me.

بلطفِ النّظم أُبهِجُه

وبالإحسانِ يُبْهِجُني

With graceful verses I give him joy,

and with kindness he gladdens me.

ففي بيتٍ أفرّجه

وبستان يفرّجني

At home he entertains me,

and in the garden he delights me.
