1. The wild cat tells me of salvation
And the raven's word bears witness

2. It says behold a refugee draws near
A generous man ransoms him, constant still

3. A brother though not of the same mother
But our father was one and the same

4. Hatem's kindness came to my aid
What an excellent guardian and father!

5. Through you I found salvation, Shakir
The Glorious King blessed me with you
