سُبحانَ مَنْ سَخَّرَ الأقوامَ كُلَّهُمُ

بالبعض حتّى استَوى التدَّبيرُ واطّردا

Glorious is He who made all people serve each other

So that governance became steady and smooth

فصارَ يخدُمُ هّذا ذاكَ من جهةٍ

وذاكَ من جهةٍ هذا وإنْ بَعُدا

Thus one serves the other in one way

And the other serves the first though far away

كُلُّ بما عندَه مُستشِرٌ فَرِحٌ

يرى السَّعادةَ فيما نالَ واعتقَدا

Each pleased with what he has, feeling bliss

Seeing happiness in what he gained and believed

يا آمري باقتناء المال مُجتَهِدا

كيما أعيشَ بمالي في غَدٍ رَغَدا

O one who strives hard to earn wealth

So I may live wealthy tomorrow in prosperity

هَبْني بجَهدي قد أصلَحْتُ أمرَ غدٍ

فَمنْ ضَميني بتَحصيلِ الحَيَاةِ غَدا

Grant me through my effort I mended tomorrow’s affairs

So who will guarantee me acquiring life tomorrow
