إِن تَفَضَّلتَ عَلى العا

إِن تَفَضَّلتَ عَلى العا

دَةِ إِنّي لَكَ شاكِر

دَةِ إِنّي لَكَ شاكِر

If you show kindness, as is your cus-

If you bestow favors on the ordinary,

tom, I am indeed grateful to you;

I will be grateful to you

أَو تَأَخَرتَ واحاشا

أَو تَأَخَرتَ واحاشا

كَ فَإِنّي لَكَ عاذِر

كَ فَإِنّي لَكَ عاذِر

Or if you delay—and far be it from

Or if you are late and take your time

you—then indeed I excuse you.

I will find excuses for you
