كَفى حَزَناً أَنّي بِقَولِيَ شاكِرٌ

كَفى حَزَناً أَنّي بِقَولِيَ شاكِرٌ

لِغَيري وَتَخفى بَعدَ ذاكَ الحَقائِقُ

لِغَيري وَتَخفى بَعدَ ذاكَ الحَقائِقُ

It is sorrow enough that, in my words, I give thanks

Enough with sorrow, for with my words I'm thankful

To another, while afterward the truths remain hidden.

To others, though afterward truth's obscured

وَجَلَّ فَما أَجزيهِ إِلّا بِشُكرِهِ

وَجَلَّ فَما أَجزيهِ إِلّا بِشُكرِهِ

فَيا لَيتَهُ يَدري بِأَنِّيَ صادِقٌ

فَيا لَيتَهُ يَدري بِأَنِّيَ صادِقٌ

And he is exalted, so I repay him only by thanking him;

Exalted is He whom I cannot reward

Ah, if only he knew that I am sincere!

Except with gratitude, if only He knew I'm sincere
