1. In Basra we have thousands of brothers,
Gentle Bahalil and good-natured Masamih.

2. They have merit and benevolence,
As if the grand mosque were a blossoming garden at night

3. With all sorts of delicate plants and colorful flowers.
On his cheek there is a mole

4. That captivates all hearts.
He made me drink a cup

5. That lit fires in my heart.
The troops of Iblis aid him

6. In causing tribulations, they are his helpers.
His dagger was sharpened

7. On the whetstone of souls, it flows with blood.
And Imran ibn Amr

8. In him lies glory and stature.
When he comes, people say

9. "A gazelle, grazing and with protruding teeth."
So whoever asks about my heart,

10. My heart is wherever they are.
