1. May Allah have mercy on Nafe' ibn Budayl
With the mercy of one longing for the reward of jihad
١. رَحِمَ اللَهُ نافِعَ اِبنِ بُدَيلٍ
رَحمَةَ المُشتَهي ثَوابَ الجِهادِ
2. Steadfast, truthful in speech when the people
Spoke much, he would speak rightly
٢. صابِراً صادِقَ الحَديثِ إِذا ما
أَكثَرَ القَومُ قالَ قَولَ السِدادِ
3. Before meeting him I was ignorant of him
Yet I have come to him, and he has captivated my heart
٣. كُنتُ قَبلَ اللِقاءِ مِنهُ بِجَهلٍ
فَقَدَ اَمسَيتُ قَد أَصابَ فُؤادي
