1. قد جرى الغيثُ على عاداته

    في الموافاة إذا وافيتَنا

    The rain has followed its accustomed ways

    In arriving whenever you come to us.

  2. طال ما عافيتنا من فقده

    وبإذن الله ما عافيتنا

    Long have you spared us from going without it,

    And it is by God's leave that you have spared us.

  3. قلتُ للغيث لقد صافيتنا

    بأبي الصقر وما جافيتنا

    I said to the rain, "You have truly befriended us

    Through Abu al-Saqr, and have not shunned us;

  4. وبما أعداكَهُ من فضله

    وتوالي برّهِ صافيتنا

    And through the bounty he has passed on to you

    And his continual kindness, you have truly befriended us."
