غدوْتُ إليكَ ولي واعدا

نِ ربٌّ رحيمٌ ورجْسٌ رجيمُ

I came to you, keeping my promise

There is a merciful Lord, and a cursed devil

فللرجْسِ وعْدٌ بنكرائه

ليحرمني وهو خَبٌّ لئيمُ

The devil promises disgrace

To deprive me, though he is mean and unworthy

ولله وعْد بمعروفه

ألا فلْيُصدِّقْ كريماً كريمُ

While God promises benevolence

So let the generous fulfill his promise

وأنت بتحقيقِ ما أرتجيه

وإبطال أسوأ ظنٍّ زعيمُ

And you, by fulfilling my hopes

And refuting the worst assumptions, are supreme
