بعضُ من غارَمَني لازَمَني

بعضُ من غارَمَني لازَمَني

ثُم قَد أَصبَحَ يَدعوني إِلَيك

ثُم قَد أَصبَحَ يَدعوني إِلَيك

One of my creditors has kept after me,

Some who were infatuated with me stuck to me

then he began summoning me before you.

Then they started inviting me to you

وعَلى جُودِكَ عَوَّلتُ به

وعَلى جُودِكَ عَوَّلتُ به

مثل ما عَوَّل في الحُكمِ عَلَيك

مثل ما عَوَّل في الحُكمِ عَلَيك

And I relied on your generosity in dealing with him,

And I relied on your generosity with them

just as he relied on you for judgment.

Like one relying on your justice

وكِلانا أيُّها القاضِي عَلَى

وكِلانا أيُّها القاضِي عَلَى

ثِقَةٍ مِنكَ بِما نَرجو لدَيك

ثِقَةٍ مِنكَ بِما نَرجو لدَيك

And both of us, O judge, are

We both, oh judge, rely

confident in you for what we hope to find with you.

On your trust in what we hope from you

فتُخلِّص من يَدَيهِ خائِفاً

فتُخلِّص من يَدَيهِ خائِفاً

خافَ أَن يُحضِرَهُ بينَ يَدَيك

خافَ أَن يُحضِرَهُ بينَ يَدَيك

So free a frightened man from his hands,

So save from his hands one who is afraid

who feared he would be brought before you.

He fears being brought before you

فعَسى عندكَ ما تكنَى بهِ

فعَسى عندكَ ما تكنَى بهِ

وعَسى لي راحَةٌ مِن راحَتَيك

وعَسى لي راحَةٌ مِن راحَتَيك

So may you have what your byname signifies,

Maybe you have what satisfies you

and may I find relief from your two palms.

And maybe I can have some of your peace
