نَدعوكَ لِلحالِ القَصي

رَةِ والمُوالاة الطَّويلَه

We call you to a short companionship and a long loyalty

Who are you whose tricks save you

مَن أَنتَ حيلَتَه أَبا

سَهلٍ إِذا لَم تَبقَ حيلَه

Like Sahl when no trick remains

And misfortunes when they called you their captive, released you

ونَوائِبٍ لمَّا دَعا

كَ أَسيرُها خلَّت سَبيلَه

And I have long carried it where I carried it, heavy

وَلَطالَما وَطيتهُ حَي

ثُ ووَطيتُها ثَقيلَه
