أتيتك لا من قربة هي بيننا

ولا نعمة قدمتها أستثيبها

I came to you, not from intimacy that is between us

Nor for a favour I have given, so I get rewarded

ولكن مع الراجين أن كنت مورداً

إليه بغاة الدين تهفو قلوبها

But with the hopeful, if you were a source

To it, the seekers of religion yearn in their hearts

أغثني بسجل من نداك يكفني

وقاك الردى مرد الرجال وشيبها

Relieve me with a stream from your clouds that clothes me

And protect you from the harm of men and their grey hair

تسمى ابن عبد اللَه حرّاً لوصفه

وتلك العلا يعنى بها من يعيبها

You are called the son of Abdullah, free due to his description

And that is the height, referring to those who criticise it
