لعّلَ نجمَ الدِّين ذا الفضل

لعّلَ نجمَ الدِّين ذا الفضل

يُذكِّرُ الفاضلَ في شغلي

يُذكِّرُ الفاضلَ في شغلي

Perhaps Najm al-Din, endowed with generosity,

Perhaps the star of faith, the virtuous one

will remind al-Fadil about my affair.

Will remind the noble one busy with my affairs

إنَّ أَجلَّ النّاسِ قدراً فتىً

إنَّ أَجلَّ النّاسِ قدراً فتىً

بفضلهِ يتعبُ من أَجلي

بفضلهِ يتعبُ من أَجلي

Indeed, the noblest of men in worth is a young man

Indeed the most esteemed of people, a young man

who, in his generosity, toils for my sake.

Labors with his grace for my sake

ومثلُهُ مَنْ يعتني بالعُلى

ومثلُهُ مَنْ يعتني بالعُلى

ويستديمُ الحمدَ من مثلي

ويستديمُ الحمدَ من مثلي

And his like is one who cares for lofty attainments

And the like of him who cares for the sublime

and keeps earning praise from one like me.

And continues praise from the like of me
