سرت لك آمالي وإن عاقني الضنى

على ثقةٍ أن يستنير نجاحها

I confided my hopes in you, though misfortune denied me

Trusting that their success will shine through

ألم تر أني من قديمٍ ووالدي

وجدِّي أناسٌ في رباكم رباحها

Don't you see that since olden times, I, my parents

And grandparents are people who found their fortune in your upbringing

فإن أجدَبت كفِّي فأنتَ غياثها

وإن فسدت حالِي فأنتَ صلاحها

So if my palms go dry, you are their rain

And if my state goes corrupt, you are their rectitude
