قَدْ أَتَانَا الَّذِي بَعَثْتَ إِلَيْنَا

وَهْوَ شَيْءٌ فِي وَقْتِنَا مَعْدُومُ

The one whom you sent to us has come

Though once non-existent, now a welcome guest

طَلْعَةٌ غَضَّةٌ أَتَتْنَا تُحَاكِي

سَفْطَاً فِيْهِ لُؤلُؤٌ مَنْظُومُ

A bud so fresh has come to recreate

Necklaces strung with pearls in fine bequest

وَكَثِيْرٌ مَا قَلَّ عِنْدَكَ عِنْدِي

إِذْ حَبَانِي بِهَا رَئِيْسٌ عَظِيْمُ

Much I possessed was little in your eyes

When gifted by a lord so grand and wise

مَا جَوَادٌ مَنْ جَادَ بِالمَالِ لَكْنْ

نَ المُوَاسِي هُوَ الجَوَادُ الكَرِيْمُ

Not he who gives away mere wealth and gold

But he who gives his love, generous and bold
