فَمَن كانَ لا يَأتيكَ إِلّا لِحاجَةٍ

فَمَن كانَ لا يَأتيكَ إِلّا لِحاجَةٍ

يَروحُ لَها حَتّى تُقَضّى وَيَغتَدي

يَروحُ لَها حَتّى تُقَضّى وَيَغتَدي

Whoever comes to you only for a need

So one who comes to you only when he needs something,

goes for it evening and morning until it is fulfilled;

He'll keep coming to you until his needs are met, then he is done with you.

فَإِنّي لَآتيكُم تَشَكُّرَ ما مَضى

فَإِنّي لَآتيكُم تَشَكُّرَ ما مَضى

مِنَ البِرِّ وَاِستيحابَ ما كانَ في غَدٍ

مِنَ البِرِّ وَاِستيحابَ ما كانَ في غَدٍ

yet I surely come to you all in gratitude for past

As for me, I come to thank you for your past kindness,

kindness, and to seek the gifts of tomorrow.

And to ask you to renew it in days to come.
