لِمولايَ عندي أيادٍ تَجلُّ

وتكثُرُ عن صِفَةِ الواصِفِ

My lord has favors too great to count

Far more than any man could describe

فلا يَقدِحَنِّي بما لا أُطي

قُ من شُطرِ معَروفِهِ الآنفِ

So let no one question what I cannot repay

Of the boons he granted me just now

فذِمَّةُ شُكري مشغولَةٌ

بعُهدَةِ إحسانِهِ السّالِفِ

For my debt of gratitude is full

With the kindness he has shown before
