مَن يُذكِرُ المَولى تَناسى عَبدَهُ

لي عِندَهُ وَعدٌ وَقَلبِيَ عِندَهُ

Whoever remembers the Master forgets His servant

I have a promise with Him and my heart is with Him

لي في وَلائِكَ أَيُّ عَقدٍ صادِقٍ

ما حَلَّ شَكٌّ حَلَّ يَوماً عَقدَهُ

What sincere bond do I have in Your loyalty?

No doubt arose that ever loosened its knot

فَلَديَهِ لي قَلبٌ أَسيرٌ لَم أُرِد

إِلّا كَرامَتَهُ لَهُ لِأَرُدَّهُ

So with Him I have a heart captive, I never intended

Except His generosity, to Him, to return it

قَلبٌ أَجَلُّ وَسيلَةٍ عِندي لَهُ

وَكَفى بِها أَن قَد تَضَمَّنَ وُدَّهُ

A heart, the noblest means for me to Him

And it suffices that it contained His love

لا تَفتَحَن بابَ العِتابِ فَإِنَّني

أَخشى عَلَيهِ أَن يُفَتِّحَ وَردَهُ

Do not open the door of reproach, for I

Fear for it that it may open rejection
