أمعتَضِداً بِاللَه دَعوَةَ آمِلٍ

رَجاكَ عَلى بُعدِ فَأَصبَح ذا قُربِ

I sought help from God with a hopeful supplication

I prayed to you from afar and so became nearby

فَأمَّمَ مأمولاً وَأَمَّ مُيَمَّماً

وَحامَت أَمانيهِ عَل مَورِد عَذبِ

He fulfilled what was hoped for and guided the lost

His wishes descended on a sweet flowing spring

مَوارِدُ ما حَلّأنَ عنهن حائما

وَلا غادَرتهُ غَير مُستَعذِب الشِربِ

The springs did not disappoint whenever he visited

Nor did they offer him anything but the sweetest drink

وَها أَنا ظَمآنٌ لمنهل وردكم

وَحَسبيَ مَوقوفٌ عَلى وردكم حَسبي

And my destiny depends on your vines, that is enough

I have attained what I have wished for since I began hoping

أَفُز بِالَّذي أَمَّلتُ مُذ كُنتُ آمِلاً

وَتَحتَلّ مِن عَلياهُ في المَنزِل الرَحبِ

And took residence in the most spacious mansion

I journeyed tirelessly as if

فَجِئتُ أُغِذُّ السَيرَ حَتّى كَأَنَّني

لإفراط إِغذاذي عَلى أَظهُرِ النُجبِ

I was atop the highest peaks due to my persistence

I found the highest ranked and most generous of men

فَألفَيتُ أَعلى الناسِ قَدراً وَسُؤدُداً

وَعَدلاً فدَتهُ النَفسُ صدقاً بِلا كَذبِ

Whose soul truthfully ransoms him, no lies

He eagerly rushes to aid those who seek him

يَهشُّ إِلى راجيهِ كالوامِقِ الصَبِّ

وَيَهتَزُّ لِلمَعروفِ كالصارِمِ العَضبِ

And trembles to do good like one shaking with rage

For turning to me and me to you I am thankful

وَإِنّي لِما تُولي وَأَولَيتَ شاكِرٌ

فَمَن شَكَرَ النعماءَ نالَ رِضا الرَبِّ

He who thanks blessings attains the satisfaction of the Lord
