1. You have imposed upon yourselves as a Sunnah
To be performed after finishing the dawn prayer
١. فرضتم عليكم للمتيم سنة
تؤدّونها بعد الفراغِ من الفجرِ
2. You have sought good through it, though it was not intended
And you have done well, and doing good is a trait of the noble
٢. طلبتم بها خيراً وما رمت فعلها
وأحسنتم والحسنُ من شيم الحر
3. Then you became lax, though laxity opposes
The nature of a generous one whom Allah has granted reward
٣. وبعد فترتم والفتور مخالفٌ
طباع كريمٍ خصّه اللَه بالأجرِ
4. You were provided sustenance you never intended to cut off
And my composition of it is undoubtedly best in poetry
٤. رزقتم مناكم لم ترومون قطعه
ونظمي له لا شكّ أحسن في الشعر
