وَلَقَدْ أَحْسَنْتُ جِوَارَكُمْ،
I lived as a good neighbour to you
وَأَحَطْتُ بِجُهْدِي مِنْ وَرَائِكُمْ،
and tried my best to look after you,
وَأَعْتَقْتُكُمْ مِنْ رَبَقِ الذُّلِّ،
and I freed you from the snare of humbleness
وَحَلَقِ الضَّيْمِ، شُكْراً مِنِّي لِلْبِرِّ الْقَلِيلِ،
and the fetters of oppression through my gratefulness for the little good (from your side)
وَإِطْرَاقاً عَمَّا أَدْرَكَهُ الْبَصَرُ،
and closed my eyes to your many misdeeds
وَشَهِدَهُ الْبَدَنُ،
which my eyes had observed
مِنَ الْمُنْكَرِ الْكَثِيرِ.
and my body had witnessed
