مولاي فضلك ما فضل يماثله

إذ أنت واحد هذا العصر فاضله

My Master, your kindness has no equal

For you are the most virtuous of this age

ارجوك اردوك في أمرٍ وعدت به

تعجيله لي فخير البر عاجله

I implore you, fulfill what you have promised me

To hasten it for me, for the best deed is what is done promptly

لانني منذ حول قلما كسبت

يداي مالا وفكري جل شاغله

For I have hardly earned any money with my hands this past year

And my thoughts have been preoccupied with making ends meet

فضاق صدري وصبري قل عن عمل

بقوت من انا يا مولاي عائله

My patience has worn thin and my chest feels tight

As I struggle to provide for my family, O my Master

ودم ربيعاً لأهل العلم زدت علاً

وكل من رام فضلاً منك نائله

You have brought great prestige to the people of knowledge

And all who seek your kindness are made happy

فتغنم الشكر من كل الورى ابداً

والمدح ممن بفضل أنت شامله

So you earn endless gratitude from all creation

And praise from those you bless with your generosity

ولا تزال لك الدنيا مطاوعةً

تنال من خيرها ما أنت آمله

And the world continues to obey you

As you attain from its goodness what you desire
