لَمَّا سَمِعْتُ بِفَضْلِ جُودِكُمُ

وَبما يُرامُ مِنَ النَّدى مِنْكُمْ

When I heard of your abundant generosity,

And what is hoped for from your bounty,

وَافيْتُ أطرقُ بابَ فَضْلِكُمُ

فَتَصدَّقُوا دُفِع البلا عَنْكُمْ

I came knocking at the door of your favor.

So give in charity, to ward off affliction from yourselves.
