وَلَو كانَ بَذلُ المَالِ وَالجُودِ مُخلِدا

مِن الناسِ إِنساناً لَكُنتَ المُخَلَّدا

Were lavish giving and generosity to grant

A man eternity, you would be immortal.

فَأُقسِمُ لا أَنفَكُّ مَا عِشتُ شاكِراً

لِنُعماكَ مَا طارَ الحمامُ وَغَرَّدا

I swear, so long as I live, grateful thanks

For your favors will flow as the doves coo and sing.
