أُزَرِّرُ إِكرامي عَلَيكَ مُدَبَّجاً

أُزَرِّرُ إِكرامي عَلَيكَ مُدَبَّجاً

وَأَعقَدُ إِنعامي عَلَيكَ مُرَندَجا

وَأَعقَدُ إِنعامي عَلَيكَ مُرَندَجا

I button my brocaded honors upon you,

I adorn my generosity upon you embroidered

And tie my favors upon you as black-dyed leather.

And I assemble my favors upon you interlaced

وَما أَنا مِن إِذا لاذَ هارِبٌ

وَما أَنا مِن إِذا لاذَ هارِبٌ

مِنَ العُدمِ بِالمَوجودِ مِن جودِهِ نَجا

مِنَ العُدمِ بِالمَوجودِ مِن جودِهِ نَجا

From poverty in what his bounty offers, lets him escape.

From nonexistence by His existence I was saved

تَتَلمَذَ لي الحُذّاقُ مِن صاغَةِ العَطا

إِذا ما رَأَت مِن حَليِ رِفدي نَموذَجا

إِذا ما رَأَت مِن حَليِ رِفدي نَموذَجا

The experts among the goldsmiths of giving became my pupils

The artful in gift-giving take me as their teacher

When they saw a sample of the jewels of my bounty.

When they see a model in my necklace’s flow
