1. Does the vicissitude of time frighten the most loyal servant
Of the state of Ismail, Lord of Mercy
١. أَيَخشى صُروف الدَهر أَصدَق خادم
لِدَولة إسماعيل رَب المَراحمِ
2. Though times oppress him when prosperity spreads
Its banners over the lands with a resolute army
٢. وَتظلمه الأَيام وَالعيد ناشر
لِواه عَلى الأَوطان في جيش حازم
3. And how can the nights oppose him when he is
The young al-Hussein, an ocean of nobility
٣. وَكَيفَ تُعاديه اللَيالي وَإِنَّهُ
غُلام الحسين الصَدر بَحر المَكارم
