يا مَن بِمَطلَعِ شَمسِ ثُمَّ مَغرِبِها

يا مَن بِمَطلَعِ شَمسِ ثُمَّ مَغرِبِها

إِنَّ السَخاءَ عَلَيكُم غَيرُ مَردودِ

إِنَّ السَخاءَ عَلَيكُم غَيرُ مَردودِ

O you where the sun rises and then where it sets,

O you at whose rising and setting sun

Indeed, generosity will not be restored to you.

Generosity towards you is never regretted

قُل لِلعُفاةِ أَريحوا العيسَ مِن طَلَبٍ

قُل لِلعُفاةِ أَريحوا العيسَ مِن طَلَبٍ

ما بَعدَ مَعنٍ حَليفِ الجودِ مِن جودِ

ما بَعدَ مَعنٍ حَليفِ الجودِ مِن جودِ

Tell the seekers of gifts: let the pale camels rest from the quest.

Tell the destitute to spare Jesus from seeking

After Ma'n, generosity's ally, there is no generosity.

No generosity after Ma'n is like his generosity

قُل لِلمَنِيَّةِ لا تُبقي عَلى أَحَدٍ

قُل لِلمَنِيَّةِ لا تُبقي عَلى أَحَدٍ

إِذ ماتَ مَعنٌ فَما مَيتٌ بِمَفقودِ

إِذ ماتَ مَعنٌ فَما مَيتٌ بِمَفقودِ

Tell Death: spare no one,

Tell death to spare no one

Since Ma'n has died, no other dead person will be missed.

Since Ma'n died, no dead one is missed
