ولو عَدَّدْتَ مالَكَ من أَيادٍ

ولو عَدَّدْتَ مالَكَ من أَيادٍ

لأَفنَيْتُ الطُّروسَ ولم أُوَفِّ

لأَفنَيْتُ الطُّروسَ ولم أُوَفِّ

If I were to enumerate the favors you have bestowed,

And were you to count your favors,

I would exhaust the scrolls and still not do them justice.

I would exhaust the pages and still not give them their due.

أَلَسْتَ مُحَكِّمِي في بحرِ جُودٍ

أَلَسْتَ مُحَكِّمِي في بحرِ جُودٍ

لَدَيْكَ جَعَلْتَهُ في بَطْنِ كَفِّي

لَدَيْكَ جَعَلْتَهُ في بَطْنِ كَفِّي

Are you not the one who gave me mastery over a sea of bounty

Have you not given me command over a sea of bounty

that lies with you—which I gathered into the hollow of my palm?

That you possess and have placed in the hollow of my palm?

وعندي كُلُّ يَوْمٍ منكَ عُرفٌ

وعندي كُلُّ يَوْمٍ منكَ عُرفٌ

يفوحُ له الثَّناءُ بِكُلِّ عَرْفِ

يفوحُ له الثَّناءُ بِكُلِّ عَرْفِ

And every day I receive a favor from you,

And every day I receive a kindness from you;

for which praise wafts with every fragrance.

Praise for it wafts with every fragrance.
