بجودِ أميرِ المؤمنين تَنَبّعتْ
عليَّ شعابُ العيشِ وهْيَ حوافلُ
Through the Commander of the Faithful’s generosity, there welled forth
over me the channels of life, brimming full.
وألبسني ثوبَ الغنى بعد فاقةٍ
فأنضرَ عودي بعدَ إذْ هو ذابلُ
He clothed me in the robe of wealth after destitution,
and made my bough verdant after it had withered.
فأَذهلني شُكري له وامتنانُهُ
فعقلي من هذا وذلك ذاهلُ
My gratitude to him and his bounty left me dazed;
by this and that, then, my mind is bewildered.
