1. ذَكَرْتُ بَنِيَّ والأَهْوالُ بَيْني

    وَبَيْنهُمُ وَأَهْواءُ الأعَادِي

    I remembered my sons, while terrors lay between me

    and them, as did the whims of foes.

  2. فَيارَبَّ العِبَادِ أَجِرْ طَريداً

    بِبَابِكَ فَرَّ مِن جَوْرِ العِبَادِ

    So, Lord of humankind, grant refuge to an outcast

    at Your gate, who has fled the tyranny of men.

  3. تَشَفَّعَ بِالرَّسُولِ أَجَلِّ خَلْقٍ

    يَقُومُ غَداً شَفِيعاً في المَعَادِ

    He sought intercession through the Messenger, noblest of creation,

    who will stand tomorrow as intercessor at the Resurrection.

  4. أَنَاخَ رَجَاءَهُ بِحمِىَ عَزِيزٍ

    وَمَدَّ يَدَ السُّؤَالِ إلى جَوَادِ

    He made his hope kneel in the Mighty One’s sanctuary,

    and stretched the hand of supplication toward the Generous One.
