1. Since I was granted him as a gift
I have defended him from the dove of fate
١. وَما زِلتُ مُذ لَدُنُ اعطِيتُهُ
أُدافِع عَنه حِمامَ الأَجَل
2. I always protect him with the Quran
And I cast my eyes wherever he settles
٢. أُعَوّذه دائِماً بِالقُرآن
وَأَرمِي بِطرفي إِلى حَيثُ حَلّ
3. So my hand's purpose has become one
Towards wherever he settled and did not move
٣. فَأَضحَت يَدي قَصدُها واحِد
إِلى حَيثُ حلَّ فَلَم يَرتَحِل
4. With my soul a beloved who dwelled in the soil
And the rising sun of his beauty has set
٤. بِنَفسي حَبيب ثَوى في الثَّرى
وَشارِقُ حُسن بِهِ قَد أَفل
