1. اللَهُ اِحمد شاكِراً

    فَبَلاؤُهُ حُسن جَميل

    Praise God gratefully,

    for His bounty is good and beautiful.

  2. أَصبَحت مَستوراً مَعا

    فى بَين أَنعمه اجول

    I have become sheltered and

    well, roaming among His blessings.

  3. خلواً من الاِخوانِ خف

    الظَهر يَقنَعني القَليل

    Without companions, with an unburdened

    back—little satisfies me.

  4. حراً فَلا ضمن لِمَخلوق

    عَلي وَلا سَبيل

    Free, with no obligation to any creature

    upon me, nor any hold over me.

  5. سيان عِندي ذو الغِنى ال

    متلاف وَالمُثري البَخيل

    Alike to me are the wealthy

    spendthrift and the rich miser.

  6. وَنَفيتُ بِالياسِ المُنى

    عَنّي فَطابَ لي القَليلُ

    And by giving up hope I banished wishes

    from myself, so little became sweet to me.

  7. وَالناسُ كُلُّهُم لِمَن

    خفت مؤونَتِه خَليل

    And everyone, to one

    whose upkeep is light, is a friend.
