حضرتكم دهرا وفي الكم تحفه
فما أذن البواب لي في لقائكم
I came to you for an age, with a gift tucked in my sleeve,
For a long while I waited to see you, a gift in my sleeve.
but the doorkeeper did not allow me to meet you.
Yet the doorkeeper gave me no permission to meet you.
إذا كان هذا حالكم يوم أحدكم
فما حالكم بالله يوم عطائكم
If this is your way on the day you receive,
If this is how you are on your Sunday,
what, by God, are you like on the day you give?
Then how are you, by God, on the day you give?
Sol 6.1
