أَنتَ أَولَيتَني الجَميلَ وَلَولا

ضُعفُ حَظّي لَكُنتُ بِالسَعيِ أَولى

You have bestowed upon me the beautiful, though had I not

Been of frail fortune, I would have been more worthy of striving.

لَم تَزَل تَسبُقُ الأَنامِ بِحُسنا

كَ وَتولي العِبادَ لُطفاً وَطولا

You never cease to surpass people in kindness,

As you care for worshipers with gentleness and endurance.

قَد تَصَدَّقتَ بِالزِيارَةِ لِلعَب

دِ فَصَدَّقتَ فيكَ ظَنّاً وَقولا

You have been charitable in visiting this slave,

Thus proving true my hopes and words about you.

فَإِذا زُرتَ زُرتَ عَبداً وَرِقاً

وَإِذا ذُدتَ ذُدتَ ذُخراً وَمَولى

When you visit, you visit a slave, tender,

And when you repel, you repel a treasure and master.
