1. يا خيرَ مُنتَصِفٍ يُهدى له الرَّشَدُ

    ويا إماماً به قد أشرَقَ البَلدُ

    O best redresser of wrongs, to whom sound guidance is granted,

    And O leader through whom the land has grown radiant,

  2. تشكو إليكَ عميدَ القوم أرمَلَةٌ

    عُدِّي عليها فلم يُترك لها سَبَدُ

    A widow complains to you, O chief of the people:

    She was wronged, and not a scrap of property was left to her.

  3. وابتُزَّ منِّي ضياعي بَعدَ مَنعَتِها

    ظُلماً وفُرِّقَ منِّي الأهلُ والولدُ

    And my estates, once secure, were wrested from me,

    Unjustly; and my family and children were torn from me.
