ولو عَدَّدْتَ مالَكَ من أَيادٍ

لأَفنَيْتُ الطُّروسَ ولم أُوَفِّ

If I were to enumerate the favors you have bestowed,

I would exhaust the scrolls and still not do them justice.

أَلَسْتَ مُحَكِّمِي في بحرِ جُودٍ

لَدَيْكَ جَعَلْتَهُ في بَطْنِ كَفِّي

Are you not the one who gave me mastery over a sea of bounty

that lies with you—which I gathered into the hollow of my palm?

وعندي كُلُّ يَوْمٍ منكَ عُرفٌ

يفوحُ له الثَّناءُ بِكُلِّ عَرْفِ

And every day I receive a favor from you,

for which praise wafts with every fragrance.
