إلى كم يخوض الدمعُ فيكَ ويلعب

ويتعب فيه من يلوم ويعتب

ويتعب فيه من يلوم ويعتب

How long will tears wade and play for your sake,

To how much does the tear delve into you and play

And those who blame and reproach grow weary of it?

And tire in it who blames and reproaches

كسمعِ ابن موسى كلما مرّ يعذَب

بدت لابن موسى فهي إرث ومكسب

And how many a white hand, amid every darkness,

And how many white hands in every black

Appeared to the son of Moses, so it is an inheritance and gain

لحمزة جماعِ المحامدِ أنعمٌ

And good for my life is every land where he stays

And every place where glory sprouts is pleasant.

And every place the dignity grows good
