WA Z''ARABAT A'LAY-YA LAT'AAA-IFU BIR-RIKA MINAL-I'Z-ZI KILALA وَقَلَّدْتَنِي مِنْكَ قَلائِدَ لا تُحَلُّ، وَطَوَّقْتَنِي أَطْوَاقَاً لا تُفَلُّ، Your kindness has put on me collars not to be moved and adorned me with neck-rings not to be broken! WA QAL-LADAT-NEE MINANUKA QALAAA-IDA LAA TUH'AL-LU WA T'AW-WAQAT-NEEE AT'-WAAQAL-LAA TUFAL فَآلاؤُكَ جَمَّةٌ ضَعُفَ لِسانِي عَنْ إحْصائِها، Your blessings are plentiful but my tongue is too weak to count them!

FAAALAAAW-UKA JAM-MATUN Z''AU'FA LISAANEE A'N IH'-S'AAA-IHAA وَنَعْمآؤُكَ كَثِيرَةٌ قَصُرَ فَهْمِي عَنْ إدْرَاكِها فَضْلاً عَنِ اسْتِقْصآئِها، And your favours are many ,but my understanding of them falls short of grasping them, let alone exhausting them! WA NAA'-MAAAW-UKA KATHEERATUN QAS'URA FAH-MEE A'N ID-RAAKIHAA FAZ''-LANA A'NI AS-TIQ-S'AAA-IHAA فَكَيْفَ لِي بِتَحْصِيلِ الشُّكْرِ، So how can I achieve giving thanks?

FAKAY-FA LEE BITAH'-S'EELISH-SHUK-RI وَشُكْرِي إيَّاكَ يَفْتَقِرُ إلى شُكْر، For my thanking you will require me to thank you for giving me the capacity to Thank WA SHUKREEE EE-YAAKA YAF-TAQIRU ILAA SHUK-R فَكُلَّما قُلْتُ: لَكَ الْحَمْدُ، وَجَبَ عَلَيَّ لِذلِكَ أَنْ أَقُولَ: لَكَ الْحَمْدُ. Whenever I say, 'To you belongs all praise!', it becomes obligatory for me to mention your gift that allows me to express this praise.
