لما أتاه الذي أصبت به

وأنشدوه إياه في شعري

When word of what had befallen me reached him,

And they recited it to him in my verse,

جاد بضعفي ما حل من غرمي

عفواً فزالت حرارة الصدر

He generously gave twice the amount of my debt that had fallen due,

Freely, and so the burning in my breast subsided.

لأشكرن الذي مننت به

ما دمت حياً وطال لي عمري

I shall surely thank you for what you have bestowed,

As long as I remain alive and my life endures.
