1. O blessed one, Ibn Idris was indeed glad
On Thursday as you sat teaching

2. And rebuilding what your grandfather had founded
With piety and on goodness established

3. Is any rain more apt than bounty's downpour?
Or any lion more apt than the valiant's prowess?

4. By my life, your abodes were citadels of glory
When, for lack of you, Tala'a Allah Tusi

5. Journeyed there on a blessed Thursday
With sciences' flags held high atop all heads

6. With the sword of truth you pierced each heresy
And made God's army triumph over Satan's forces
