كم صغير جبرته بعد يتم

كم صغير جبرته بعد يتم

وفقير نَعَشْتَهُ بعد عدمِ

وفقير نَعَشْتَهُ بعد عدمِ

How many a little orphan you restored after his bereavement,

How many a helpless orphan has he reared,

and how many a poor man you raised from destitution.

And many a pauper in their need he cheered,

كلما عضت الحوادث نادى

كلما عضت الحوادث نادى

رضي اللّه عن سعيد بن سَلْمِ

رضي اللّه عن سعيد بن سَلْمِ

Whenever calamities sank their teeth in, he cried out:

Whenever fate's misfortunes people feared,

May God be pleased with Sa‘id ibn Salm.

God be pleased with Sa'id ibn Salim.
