1. أَيا مَن غَدا قُطبُ إِنعامِهِ

    تَدورُ عَلَيهِ رَحا قَصدِنا

    O you whose bounty has become the axis

    Around which the millstone of our quest revolves.

  2. نَظَمتُم عَلَينا عَطاياكُمُ

    فَصُغنا عَلَيكُم حُلى حَمدِنا

    You strung your gifts upon us,

    So we fashioned for you the ornaments of our praise.

  3. فَأَمّا الحِباءُ فَمِن عِندِكُم

    وَأَما الثَناءُ فَمِن عِندِنا

    So as for bounty, it comes from you;

    And as for praise, it comes from us.
