أَبا هاشِمٍ هَضَّمتَني الشِفارُ

أَبا هاشِمٍ هَضَّمتَني الشِفارُ

فَلِلَّهِ صَبري لِذاكَ الأوارْ

فَلِلَّهِ صَبري لِذاكَ الأوارْ

O Abu Hashim, the blades have worn me down.

O Abu Hashim, sharp tongues have hurt me,

So to God belongs my endurance of that burning heat.

Yet by God I have patience for their harm.

ذَكَرتُ شُخَيصَكَ ما بَينَها

ذَكَرتُ شُخَيصَكَ ما بَينَها

فَلَم يَدعُني حُبه للفرارْ

فَلَم يَدعُني حُبه للفرارْ

I remembered your little figure among them;

I think of your character among them,

so love for him did not let me flee.

Your love won't let me flee or feel alarm.
