1. O leader of the faith who never ceases
To be a shelter for the desperate refugee

2. And whose resolve no one can change
Against his enemies, like the flash of swords

3. Through you, the plant of honor has flourished
And the branch of kindness bears ripe fruit

4. I do not complain to you after the departure of
The cold except for the arrival of summer

5. And being clothed in it with my old gown
That wondrous creation of patches

6. What a gown, what a gown that is sold
When thrown away for a loaf of bread

7. Wear has crept into it and it has become
A home for moths, the insidious guests

8. So that its emaciated body seems
Like my own frail and slender body

9. The gown of the virtuous Safi whom God
Has granted, son of the chaste one, long life
