قالوا وقد زدتني برًّا وتكرمةً

يا خير من لندَى كفّ أناديهِ

They said, as you've been so kind and generous to me,

O best of those whose palms I call out to in need,

ماذا قبضت نهار العشر قلتُ لهم

قبضتُ ميقاتَ موسى من أياديهِ

What did you gain on the tenth day, they asked.

I gained my appointment with Moses from his hands.
