فَإِلَيكَ اِرتَحَلتُ تَشفَعُ لي قُر

فَإِلَيكَ اِرتَحَلتُ تَشفَعُ لي قُر

بى وَنُصحٌ لَكُم وَغَيبٌ سَليمٌ

بى وَنُصحٌ لَكُم وَغَيبٌ سَليمٌ

So to you I journeyed, with kinship interceding for me,

To you I have come pleading, grant favor

and sincere counsel for you, and an untainted inner self.

To me and sound advice to you all, with no ill intent

فَاِكسِني البِشرَ إِنَّهُ شاهِدُ العُر

فَاِكسِني البِشرَ إِنَّهُ شاهِدُ العُر

فِ كَما شاهَد القَنوطَ الوجومُ

فِ كَما شاهَد القَنوطَ الوجومُ

So clothe me in cheerfulness, for it bears witness to kindness,

So greet me with glad tidings, he is witness to bareness

as gloomy silence bore witness to despair.

As he witnessed despair’s gloom
