1. أَولَيتَني نِعماً تَتابَعَ مَنُّها

    هِيَ فيكَ أَصفادي وَقَيدُ ثَنائي

    You bestowed on me blessings, one favor following another;

    they are my fetters binding me to you, and the bond of my praise.

  2. فَلَأَشكُرَنَّكَ ما اِستَطَعتُ تَلَفُّظاً

    شُكرَ الرِياضِ لِصَيِّبِ الأَنواءِ

    So I shall surely thank you as long as I can speak,

    as gardens thank the downpour of the rain-bearing stars.
