Praise be to Allah, O Abu Hasan

الحمد للَّه يا أبا حسنِ

1. Praise be to Allah, O Abu Hasan
Of abundant blessings and favors

١. الحمد للَّه يا أبا حسنِ
ذي النِّعَم السابغات والمِننِ

2. You have denied me the meadows of leanness and denied
People the meadows of fatness

٢. أقطعتني مرتع الهُزال وأق
طعتَ أناساً مراتع السِّمن

3. You presented my praise to be said about him
He went astray, straying the straying of weeping in abasement

٣. عرَّضْتَ حمديك أن يقالَ له
ضلَّ ضلالَ البكاء في الدمن

4. I beseeched you, O Abu Hasan
In sanctity that was not disgraced or dishonored

٤. ناشدتُكَ اللَّه يا أبا حسن
في حرمة لم تُذَل ولم تهُن

5. He who clings to it does not turn away from you
And his fortune is the fortune of the worshipper of idols

٥. لا ينصرفْ عنك من يَمُتُّ بها
وحظُّه حظ عابدِ الوثن

6. Complaining to you not displaying his complaint
To you but the complaint of time

٦. يشكوك لا مُظهِراً شكايته
إياك لكن شكايةَ الزمن

7. And whoever complained of his time complained of you, and does
The soul suffice apart from the body?

٧. ومن شكا دهرَه شكاك وهل
تكنى عن الروح خارج البدن

8. You are the one who time was disposed by
So you, if blamed while in an eon

٨. أنت الذي صُرِّف الزمان به
فأنت إن ذُمَّ وهو في قَرن
