مؤتمن الدين أبق وأسمع ثناء

يزري على الدر بترصيفِهِ

O faithful trustee, stay and listen to praise

That flows over pearls in its arranging

يا واحد الفضل الذي لم يزل

يعرف في الناس بمعروفه

O singular in kindness, who has not ceased

To be known among people for his benevolence

التبن قد جاء ولم يبق لي

ما أتمنى غير تصحيفه

The straw has come, and nothing remains for me

That I wish for apart from its gathering

فاجمع به شمل الجواد الذي

يرتع من جدواك في ريفه

So unite through it the fellowship of the generous one

Who grazes on your meadows in his pasture

وأسلم سعيدا ما شكا عاشق

من عاذل لجّ بتعنيفهِ

And deliver safe and sound whoever a lover complained of

From a blamer who was harsh in his rebuke
