ألا يا أيها الملكُ المعَلَّى
أَنلني من عطاياك الجزيله
Lo, O exalted king,
Lo, O exalted king,
Grant me some of your bountiful gifts.
Grant me some of your bountiful gifts.
بعبدك حُرمةٌ والّكر فحشٌ
فلا تُحوِج إلى ذكر الوسيله
Your servant has a claim to consideration, and repetition is unseemly;
Your servant has a claim to respect, and repeated pleading is unseemly;
So do not compel me to mention the means.
So do not compel me to mention my means of appeal.
Sol 6.1
