1. In the reign of al-‘Abbas the Second and his rule
The stars' cycles stood for kindness and compassion

2. So for the sick, healing lies in his breath
And for the poor, facilitation at his generosity

3. Blessed is the palace of benevolence and mercy
Left by the messengers, remembered and renowned

4. The ill of the land, after their cure
Wish these hospitals would never leave them

5. If the dead were gathered in the adorned halls
They would come alive, spread out in them

6. Gabriel lamented the wounds it supported
From Jesus and Hippocrates' remedies

7. My lord, for what your hands have done
They are eternally thanked and praised

8. No health you denied a people you looked after
No land devoid of knowledge you built up
