سَأُثني عَلى نُعماكِ بِالكَلِمِ الَّتي

مَحاسِنُها تُبلي الزَمانَ وَلا تَبلى

I will praise Your bounties with words

Whose beauties time does not erase or decay

وَأَشكُرُ شُكراً لَيسَ لي فيهِ مِنَّةٌ

وَلا مِنَّةٌ لِلرَوضِ إِن شَكَرَ الوَبلا

And give thanks with gratitude wherein I have no merit

Just as the meadow has no merit should it give thanks for the rain.
