بَيْتِي وكلِّي مِلْكُ مَن يَدُه

بَيْتِي وكلِّي مِلْكُ مَن يَدُه

فوق الأيادي دَأْبُها المِنَحُ

فوق الأيادي دَأْبُها المِنَحُ

My house and all of me belong to him whose hand

My house and all I own belong to him

is above all hands, its constant practice bestowing gifts.

Whose open hand is raised above all hands

فإذا انْتدَبْتُ لأمرِ دَعْوَتِهِ

فإذا انْتدَبْتُ لأمرِ دَعْوَتِهِ

قالوا طُفَيْلِيٌّ ويقْتَرِحُ

قالوا طُفَيْلِيٌّ ويقْتَرِحُ

So when I volunteer to answer his invitation,

So when I'm called to serve at his command

they say, “An uninvited guest—and he makes requests!”

They say, "He's poor Tufayl, he just pretends!"
