1. I have come to you from the grave
While people are detained for the resurrection
١. إِنّي أَتَيتُكُمُ مِنَ القَبرِ
وَالناسُ مُحتَبِسونَ لِلحَشرِ
2. If it were not for Abu al-Abbas I would not have seen
My eyes looking upon a son or kinsman
٢. لَولا أَبو العَبّاسِ ما نَظَرَت
عَيني إِلى وَلَدٍ وَلا وَفرِ
3. God has clothed me through him with bounties
Whose greatness has kept my hands busy with gratitude
٣. اللَهُ أَلبَسَني بِهِ نِعَماً
شَغَلَت جَسامَتُها يَدي شُكري
4. I was taught by one who understands, understands well
So I grasped them with ten fingers
٤. لُقِّنتُها مِن مُفهِمٍ فَهِمٍ
فَعَقَدتُها بِأَنامِلٍ عَشرِ
