1. We have narrated, O son of the brave leader,
And your call did not leave behind for us any despair,
١. رَوينا يا اِبنَ عَسكَرٍ الهُماما
وَلَم يَترُك نَداكَ بِنا هُياما
2. And the most beloved of what you give to us,
Other than bidding you farewell and peace,
٢. وَصارَ أَحَبُّ ما تُهدي إِلَينا
لِغَيرِ قِلىً وَداعَكَ وَالسَلاما
3. And we did not get bored of checking up on you, the loyal ones,
Nor did we become sick of your generous hands,
٣. وَلَم نَملَل تَفَقُّدَكَ المَوالي
وَلَم نَذمُم أَيادِيَكَ الجِساما
4. But rather, when abundant rain continues
In the land of a traveler, he dislikes staying.
٤. وَلَكِنَّ الغُيوثَ إِذا تَوالَت
بِأَرضِ مُسافِرٍ كَرِهَ المُقاما
