1. You came to me, my master Abul Fath
Like the flowers that bloom after prolonged gloom
١. وَرَدتَ أَبا الفَتح سَيّدي
وُرودَ الكَرى بَعدَ طول السهادْ
2. When you arrived, your coming did not lift
The darkness in my eyes and heart
٢. وَلَمّا حَلَلتَ بِنا لَم تَحُلّ
مِن العين وَالقَلب غَيرَ السَوادْ
3. You became to me like birds
That fly to you on wings of love
٣. ودمت مِنّا طَيوراً غَدَت
تَطيرُ إِلَيكَ بريشِ الوِدادْ
