1. You met us like the generous man meets his guest
And embraced us like the brave man embraces his sword

2. You made your abode a Ka'aba for the hopeful
It is a journey for his winter and his summer

3. O you who when truth is confused lends it
An opinion that refines its weight from falsehood

4. And when the enemy's land is raided and desolated
By his delegation and its eagles from his guest

5. Upon the prosperous from you poured clouds
That enrich the guardian for his charge over summer

6. While others' generosity is a whim to suspicions
As if in sleep the phantom of its specter

7. How many criminals whose sins decided their demise
Who gnaw their fingers in the morning from remorse

8. You gave him safety from his fear as if he
Has entered the inviolable sanctum of his dread
