تداركَني بِشرُ بنُ مَروانَ بَعدَما

تَعاوَت إِلى شِلوى الذَئابُ العَواسِلُ

Bishr son of Marwan came to my rescue after

The ravenous wolves had conspired to attack me

غِياثُ الضِعافِ المُرملينَ وَعِصمَةُ ال

يَتامى ومن تأوي اليه العَباهِلُ

The savior of the weak and the naked, and the guardian of

The orphans, to whom the outcasts come for refuge

قَريعُ قُرَيشٍ وَالهُمامُ الَّذي لَهُ

أَقَرَّت بَنو قَحطانَ طُرّاً وَوائِلُ

The flogger of Quraysh, the brave one, to whom

The tribes of Qahtan submitted eagerly

وَقيسُ بنُ عَيلانَ وَخِندفُ كُلُّها

أَقَرَّت وَجِنُّ الأَرضِ طُرّاً وَخابِلُ

And Qais son of Aylan, and Khindif - all of them

Submitted, and so did the Jinn of the land willingly

يَداكَ ابنَ مَروان يَدٌ تَقتُلُ العِدا

وَفي يَدِكَ الأُخرى غياثٌ وَنائِلُ

O son of Marwan, your hand kills the enemies

And in your other hand lies salvation and hopes

إِذا أَمطَرتَنا منكَ يَوماً سَحابَةٌ

رُوَينا بِما جادَت عَلَينا الأَنامِلُ

Whenever you shower us from your clouds one day

We are quenched by what poured down on us from the droplets

فَلا زِلتَ يا بشرَ بنَ مَروانَ سَيِّداً

يَهُلُّ عَلَينا مِنكَ طَلٌّ وَوابِلُ

You have always been, O Bishr son of Marwan, a master

Whose abundant rain pours down on us

فَأَنتَ المُصَفّى يابنَ مَروانَ وَالَّذي

تَوافَت اليه بِالعَطاءِ القَبائِلُ

You are the pure one, O son of Marwan, the one to whom

The tribes have flocked with gifts

يُرَجُّونَ فَضلَ اللَهِ عند دُعائِكم

إِذا جمعتكم وَالحَجيجَ المنازِلُ

They hope for the grace of God through your prayers

When you gather together with the pilgrims at the camps

وَلَولا بَنو مَروانَ طاشَت حُلومُنا

وَكُنّا فَراشاً أَحرَقَتها الشَعائِلُ

And were it not for the clan of Marwan, our minds would be lost

And we would be moths burned by the flames
