1. نَثْنِي عَلَيْكِ وَهَلْ يُكَافِيءُ

    بَعْضَ مِنَّتكِ الثَّناءْ

    We praise you—but can praise repay

    Even part of your kindness?

  2. أَعْيَتْ فِلَسْطِينَ الجّرَاحُ

    وَمِنْ يَدَيْكِ أَتَى الدَّوَاءْ

    Wounds have exhausted Palestine,

    And from your hands came the cure.

  3. وَمُحَمَّدُ ابنُكِ كَانَ أولَ

    مُنْجِدٍ سَمِعَ الدُّعَاءْ

    And Muhammad, your son, was the first

    Rescuer to hear the plea.

  4. هَلاَّ اقْتَدَى بِكُمَا السَّراةُ

    القَادِرُونَ الأَثْرِيَاءْ

    Why did the nobles not emulate you both—

    The powerful, the wealthy?
