أَيا مَوصِلَ النَعما عَلى كُلِّ حالَةٍ

إِلَيَّ قَريباً كُنتُ أَو نازِحَ الدارِ

O you who bring blessings in every state

To me, near or far from home

كَما يَلحَقُ الغَيثُ البِلادَ بِسَيلِهِ

وَإِن جادَ في أَرضٍ سِواها بِأَمطارِ

As rain reaches the land with its downpour

Even if it pours in other soils with showers

وَيا مُقبِلٌ وَالدَهرُ عَنّي بِمَعرَضٍ

يُقَسِّمُ لَحمي بَينَ نابٍ وَأَظفارِ

O you who turns to me while time turns away

Dividing my flesh between fangs and claws

وَيا مَن يَراني حَيثُ كُنتُ بِذِكرِهِ

وَكَم مِن إِناسٍ لَم يَروني بِأَبصارِ

O you who sees me wherever I am by your remembrance

While many people have not seen me with their eyes

وَكَم نِعمَةٍ لِلَّهِ في صَرفِ نِقمَةٍ

تُرَجّى وَمَكروهٍ حَلا بَعدَ إِمرارِ

How many blessings of God in diverting harm

Hope for and hated thing passed after enduring

وَما كُلُّ ما تَهوى النُفوسُ بِنافِعٍ

وَما كُلُّ ما تَخشى النُفوسُ بِضَرّارِ

Not everything the selves desire is beneficial

Nor everything the selves dread is harmful

لَقَد عَمَرَ اللَهُ الوَزارَةَ بِاِسمِهِ

وَرَدَّ إِلَيها أَهلَها بَعدَ إِقفارِ

God has honored the ministry by His name

And restored its people after desolation

وَكانَت زَماناً لا يَقَرُّ قَرارُها

فَلاقَت نِصاباً ثابِتاً غَيرَ خَوّارِ

It was once restless, unstable

Now steady, fixed, not wavering
