1. Answer me, O Abu Hafs, did you meet Muhammad
At his Pond, rejoicing, and he saw you?
١. أَجِبني أَبا حَفصٍ لَقيتَ مُحَمَّداً
عَلى حَوضِهِ مُستَبشِراً وَرآكا
2. So you are a man whose two hands are beneficial -
Your left is better than the right of others.
٢. فَأَنتَ اِمرُؤٌ كِلتا يَدَيكَ مُفيدَةٌ
شِمالُكَ خَيرٌ مِن يَمينِ سِواكا
3. Why does the veil increase your loftiness
And virtue? What has the veil summoned you to?
٣. عَلامَ حِجابي زادَكَ اللَهُ رِفعَةً
وَفَضلاً وَماذا لِلحِجابِ دَعاكا
4. You reached the extent of criminals before you, when they dragged along,
And the criminals have not yet reached your extent.
٤. بَلَغتَ مَدى المُجرِمينَ قَبلَكَ إِذ جَروا
وَلَم يَبلُغِ المُجرونَ بَعدُ مَداكا
5. So your two ancestors, there is no more honorable than them,
There glory reaches its end, and there reaches its end.
٥. فَجَدّاكَ لا جَدَّينِ أَكرَمُ مِنهُما
هُناكَ تَناهى المَجدُ ثُمَّ هُناكا
