وكيفَ أُؤدِّي شَكرَ من إن شكرتُهُ

وكيفَ أُؤدِّي شَكرَ من إن شكرتُهُ

على بِرِّ يَومٍ زادَني مِثلَهُ غَدا

على بِرِّ يَومٍ زادَني مِثلَهُ غَدا

And how can I render thanks to one who, if I thank him

How can I give thanks, when if I gave thanks

for a day's kindness, grants me as much again tomorrow?

For kindness on one day, he added more the next?

فإن رُمت أقضي اليَومَ الَّذي مَضى

فإن رُمت أقضي اليَومَ الَّذي مَضى

رَأَيتُ لهُ فَضلاً عَلَيَّ مُجددا

رَأَيتُ لهُ فَضلاً عَلَيَّ مُجددا

For if I seek to repay the kindness of the day gone by,

For if I wished to repay the day that passed,

I find his favor toward me renewed.

I would see new bounty from him ever renewed
