اِصبِر لِعادَتِكَ الحُسنى الَّتي عَجِلَت

اِصبِر لِعادَتِكَ الحُسنى الَّتي عَجِلَت

بِالبِرِّ نَحوي وَخَيرُ البِرِّ عاجِلُه

بِالبِرِّ نَحوي وَخَيرُ البِرِّ عاجِلُه

Persevere in your gracious custom, which has hastened

Have patience for your habit of kindness which you hastened

to show me kindness; the best kindness is that given promptly.

Towards me with righteousness, and the best of righteousness is urgent

وَإِن تَبَرَّمتَ فَاِدلُلنا عَلى مَلِكٍ

وَإِن تَبَرَّمتَ فَاِدلُلنا عَلى مَلِكٍ

يَحكيكَ لِيَ فَدَليلُ الخَيرِ فاعِلُه

يَحكيكَ لِيَ فَدَليلُ الخَيرِ فاعِلُه

And if you grow weary, then direct us to a king

And if you complain, then show us a king

who would be like you to me; for one who points to good is its doer.

Who can relate you to me, for the proof of good is its doer
