ما لأَبِي اليُمْنِ عَلَيْنا يَدٌ

ما لأَبِي اليُمْنِ عَلَيْنا يَدٌ

لكِنْ أَيادِينا جَمِيعاً عَلَيْهْ

لكِنْ أَيادِينا جَمِيعاً عَلَيْهْ

Abu al-Yumn holds no favor over us;

rather, every favor of ours rests upon him.

لأَنَّهُ يَعْتَدُّ إِسْداءهُ الْ

لأَنَّهُ يَعْتَدُّ إِسْداءهُ الْ

جَمِيلَ إِسْداءَ جَمِيلٍ إِلَيْهْ

جَمِيلَ إِسْداءَ جَمِيلٍ إِلَيْهْ

For he reckons his bestowal of the—

favor a favor bestowed upon himself:

كَأَنَّما نعطِيهِ مِنْ جُودِ أَيْ

كَأَنَّما نعطِيهِ مِنْ جُودِ أَيْ

دِينا الَّذِي نَأْخُذُهُ مِنْ يَدَيْهْ

دِينا الَّذِي نَأْخُذُهُ مِنْ يَدَيْهْ

as though, from the bounty of our—

hands, we gave him what we receive from his hands.
