1. سَأَلَ الإِمامُ وَقَد تَتابَعَ جَدبُنا

    فَسَقى الغَمامُ بِغُرَّةِ العَبّاسِ

    The Imam prayed as our drought continued,

    so the clouds gave rain through al-‘Abbas’s radiant brow.

  2. عَمُّ النَبِيِّ وَصُنوُ والِدِهِ الَذي

    وَرِثَ النَبِيَّ بِذاكَ دونَ الناسِ

    The Prophet’s uncle and his father’s counterpart, who

    was the Prophet’s heir by that kinship, to the exclusion of others.

  3. أَحيا الإِلَهُ بِهِ البِلادَ فَأَصبَحَت

    مُخضَرَّةَ الأَجنابِ بَعدَ الياسِ

    God revived the lands through him, and they became

    green on every side after despair.
