هَبْني سِراجاً طَوَالَ اللَّيلِ تُوقِدُهُ
هَلْ ذلكَ الزَّيْتُ يَكْفِيهِ مَعَ الأَبَدِ
Grant me a lamp you keep alight throughout the night;
will that oil sustain it forever?
جَدِّدْ تَفقُّدَهُ كَيْما تَراهُ غَداً
رَطْبَ اللِّسانِ بِشُكْرٍ غَيْرِ مُفتَقَدِ
Renew your tending of it, so that tomorrow you may see it—
its tongue moist with gratitude, never lacking.
