زَادُوا لَنَا بِضْعَ عَشْرٍ بَعْدَ سِتِّينا
وخَوَّلُونَا مِنَ النَّعْماءِ ماشِينا
They added for us ten and a few more beyond sixty,
And granted us whatever blessings we wished for.
جَادُوا لَنا بالذِي نَهْوَى فَشُكْرُكُمُ
حَقٌّ عَلَيْنا ولَكِنْ أيْنَ ذا أَيْنا
They generously gave us what we desire; so thanking you
Is our duty—but where is such gratitude, where?
فَإنَّ مِنْ فَضْلِهِمْ نَفْسِي وَحَسْبُكَ ذَا
وإنَّ مِنْ فَضْلِهِمْ دُنيايَ والدنِّيا
For my very self is part of their bounty—and this is enough for you;
And my worldly life and the world are part of their bounty.
Sol 6.1
