1. O Asim, son of Aqeel
You have adorned the world with generosity

2. Inheritor of ancient glory
Towering, ever growing in stature

3. Above Hubayr and his son Ja'dah
So wear the patched cloak with dignity

4. May God mend your garment
And clothe you in a shirt and turban

5. And relieve me of tattered robes
Falling to pieces through over-use

6. Long have I patched them up
Until they became mere patches

7. Nothing in them now
Except thriving lice multiplying

8. You never cease to favor one who hopes for your kindness and favor
