لو كانَ غيرك مخدوماً ألوذ به

لكانَ حالي على ما أشتهي حالي

Had it been another who was served, I'd take refuge in him,

My state would be as I desire my state,

ولا هجيت فلا أمسيت مفتقراً

وباركَ الله في عرضِي وفي مالي

And I'd not become destitute morning and night,

May God bless my honor and wealth.
