1. For Asim there is a sky
Whose clouds wander

2. Its rains are copious
Pearls and running streams

3. And his fire calls out
When the flames kindle

4. Generosity in dearth
After the Ghassanids none remained

5. Submit I care not
What the brethren did

6. Excellencies prayed for him
As did the sword and teeth

7. Time’s stumbling never harmed
Those hopeful of him

8. Whoever he defends, frightened
Asim is safety
