لا يعدم العافون يُمنكْ

في كلّ مقصدهم ومنّكْ

May you never lack well-wishers

In all their aims and gifts to you

فالشهب تعلم أنك ال

عالي سنا والسحب أنّكْ

The stars know that you are

Of lofty rank, and the clouds know that

صيرت فني في المدا

ئح إذ جعلت الجود فنّكْ

You have made generosity your art

In the meadows where you have grazed

فلأشكرنَّك ما حيي

تُ وإن أمت فلتشكرنّكْ

So I thank you while I live

And when I die, may others thank you
