1. O my reliance, O my pillar,
O my exemplar, O my consoler,
١. يا عُدَّتي يا عُمدتي
يا قُدوتي يا جابري
2. If I do not come to give solace,
Then in my absence, make excuses for me.
٢. إنْ لمْ أجئْ معزِّياً
كنْ في انقطاعي عاذري
3. How many are present like absent,
And absent like present.
٣. كمْ حاضرٍ كغائبٍ
وغائبٍ كحاضرِ
