1. أسلُ الغِنى عنك الذي

    أغناكَ عنّي بالثراءِ

    I seek independence from you from the One who

    made you independent of me through riches,

  2. كَيْما تَراني في الذي

    أبصرتُ فيكَ من القضاءِ

    so that you may see me in the state

    that I saw fate decree for you.

  3. ولقد أرَقْتُ بلا انتفا

    عٍ ماءَ وجهي بالرَّجاءِ

    And I have indeed poured out, without any

    benefit, the water of my face in hope.

  4. فمنَعتني منكَ الجَدا

    وسرقتني طِيب الثناءِ

    So you denied me your bounty

    and robbed me of the sweetness of praise.
