أتَرْضى بأنَّ النخلَ أصبح لم يحُلْ

وقد حال ما عَوَّدْتَنِيهِ من البذلِ

Are you satisfied that the palm tree no longer bears fruit

And what you used to give me generously has dried up

أبى اللَّهُ أن ترضى بتلك خليقةً

لأنك أولى بالوفاءِ من النخلِ

God did not want you to be content with such character

Because you are more deserving of loyalty than the palm tree
