أَنمْتُ طَرْفي قَرِيراً مِنكَ في دَعَةٍ

لِمَوْعِدٍ قَدْ كَفَاني شَرَّ أَعْدائي

I rested my eyelids happily because of you in leisure

For a promise that had spared me the evil of enemies

وَقَدْ أَتَى ضَامِنُ الشَّخْتُورِ مُلْتَمساً

إنجازَ وَعَدِكَ يا أَلفينِ مولائي

And the guarantor of dignity came asking

For the fulfillment of your promise, O thousands of my masters

ومَنْزِلي حَفَّهُ بَحرانِ دُونَكُمُ

وما ادَّعَيْتُ لَكُمْ مَشْياً على الماءِ

And my dwelling is surrounded by two seas below you

And I have not claimed that you walk on water
