1. يا مَن لَهُ بَحرٌ مِنَ البِرِّ

    يَفرَقُ فيهِ سائِحُ الفَقرِ

    O you who possess a sea of benevolence,

    Where poverty’s wanderer trembles with fear.

  2. قَد قادَتِ الريحُ مِنَ السُحبِ ما

    يَسحَبُ أَرساناً مِنَ القَطرِ

    The wind has led forth some clouds that

    Trail reins of rain.

  3. وَالرَوضُ مَيدانٌ لِأَمثالِنا

    مِنَ الجِيادِ السُبَّقِ الغَرِّ

    And the meadow is a racecourse for the likes of us,

    Among the foremost, white-blazed steeds.

  4. فَاِجرِ بِنا في طَلَقٍ واحِدٍ

    لَعَلَّنا نَلحَقُ بِالشُكرِ

    So race with us in a single run,

    Perhaps we may catch up by giving thanks.
