أَمَوْلاَيَ خُذْهَا بِنْتَ فِكْرِي تَغَيَّبَتْ

رَوَّيتُهُ عَنِّي وَضَلَّ ارْتِجَالُهُ

My hopes, take them, a daughter of my thoughts has vanished

I confided in her and her improvisation went astray

وَمَنْ عَجَبِ الدُّنْيَا بُنَيَّةُ خَاطِرِي

تَأَتَّى بِيَوْمٍ حَمْلُهُ وَفِصَالُهُ

And whoever is amazed by the structure of my mind

Comes a day whose burden and unloading are hers

وَأَنْجِزْ جَمِيلَ الْوَعْدِ وَاعْلَمْ بِأَنَّهُ

تُلاَزِمُ أَقْوَالَ الْكَرِيمِ فِعَالُهُ

Fulfill your promise of kindness and know that

His actions accompany the words of the generous

وَإِنْ جُدْتَ لِي يَوْماً فَنَوِّهْ بِرُتْبَتِي

فَمِثْلِيَ مَلْحُوظٌ لَدَيْكَ انْتِقَالُهُ

And if you are generous to me one day, make mention of my rank

For the likes of me are noteworthy to you when I pass away

تَعَهَّدْتَنِي بِالْجُودِ بَدْءً وَعَوْدَةً

وَأَلْبَسْتَنِي عِزًّا يُرُوقُ جَمَالُهُ

You have undertaken to be generous with me at the start and return

And you have adorned me with honor befitting its beauty

وَأَيَّدْتَنِي وَالدَّهْرُ قِرْنٌ مُنَاجِزٌ

فَأَيَّدَكَ الرَّحْمَانُ جَلَّ جَلاَلُهُ

And you have supported me while time is a challenging partner

So the Merciful has supported you, transcendent is His majesty
