كثرّ الإحسانُ أعدا

يَ فصبراً واحتِسَابَا

Good deeds make many enemies

So I’m patient and act in hopes of reward

ما يعاديني إلاّ

كلُّ مَنْ عادَى الصَّوابا

None oppose me except

Those who oppose what's right

زَعَمُوا أن افْتِنَاني

صار لي نقصاً وَعَابا

They claim my integrity

Has become my flaw and shame

زادني اللَّهُ من الحِكْ

مَةِ حظًّا واكْتِسابَا

But God has granted me

Wisdom, fortune, and gain
