1. Your letter has reached us, so we rejoiced
With great delight that heals the heart of sickness

2. You mentioned that we left our homes
And our family, relatives and kin

3. Yet think not we forgot our meadows
Or homes of friends, uncles and cousins

4. Nor kind neighbors whose affection
Was parted from for a time without crime

5. We left the beloved homelands which were our abode
Seeking God’s provision without any sin

6. For we are the children and home is our mother
The progeny of men are not equal without a mother

7. But we went out seeking livelihood wherever
It may be, with simple piety or endeavor

8. We are well, in joy and grace
Our rivers flow and provision thrives

9. For we made the beloved the capital of our wealth
The head of capital thus protected from debt

10. We will roam east and west in the horizons
Crossing mountains and deserts without fatigue

11. Seeking the pleasure of the Noble Creator, to provide for our families
Man has no escape from seeking his destined share

12. It is upon us to seek livelihood from every corner
And be content with what Allah decrees of fate

13. Think not livelihood has evaded you untried
Without effort from you of resolve and wisdom

14. We arrived at Kursha, city of honor and plenty
Whose people are of courage and judiciousness

15. They have submitted to their Imam
Lords who shun tyranny and oppression

16. They are people of affection for all the Imams
And their ancestors before in war and peace

17. Leave beloved, Rustaq, Debai and Al-Jaww
For they equal in the decree of the All-Knowing

18. And each land - praised be Allah - their unity rejoined
Imam of the righteous, Master of Arabs and non-Arabs

19. He is the justice, sword of the Sultan of Swords
The gallant Malik, son of the Juhainah tribe

20. Upon him, the prayers of Allah last as long as all remain
And sorrow clouds downpour with pouring rain
