أُمْنِيَّةٌ خَوَّلْتَنِي بَعْدَها
أُمْنِيَّةٌ أَعْطَيْتَنِي ما أُرِيدْ
One wish you granted me, and after it,
A wish that made me after it
Another wish—you gave me what I desire.
A wish you gave me what I want
بَلَّغْتَني فَوْقَ الْمُنَى فانْثَنَتْ
نَفْسي تَسامَى نَحْوَ أمْرٍ بَعيدْ
You brought me beyond all hopes; then it turned—
You took me above wishes, so my soul inclined
My soul—aspiring toward a distant goal.
Towards a far goal
من ذاكَ طَعْمُ النَّيلِ للفَضْلِ لم
يُنْكَرْ عَلَيْهِ إنْ أرادَ الْمَزِيدْ
Whoever has [tasted] the savor of attaining bounty is not
Who tastes this bounty of attainment would not
Reproached if he desires more.
Be denied more, if he wanted it
