قالوا وَفَدتَ مِن البَيتِ الحَرامِ وَمِن

زِيارَةِ المُصطَفى للعَودِ مُختارا

They said you came from the Sacred House and from

Visiting Al-Mustafa, choosing to return

فَزارَكَ الناسُ أَرسالاً وَبَعضُهُم

قَد اِزدَراكَ اِنتخاءً مِنهُ ما زارا

So people visited you in delegations while some

Belittled you, enviously, though they did not visit

وَما اِزدراكَ سِوى غَمرٍ أَخي حَسَدٍ

يَرى بِكَ الشَمسَ إِحراقاً وَإنوارا

None belittled you but the envious, my brother

Who sees you as the burning sun with its lights

لَو أَنَّهُ كُنتَ رِجساً مِن مُسالَمَةٍ

وَافى مِن القُدسِ كانَ الغُمر زوّارا

If you were an impurity from making peace

And came from Al-Quds, envy would still visit

إِن يُترَكُوا فَقَديماً زارَ أَكبَرُهُم

قَدراً وَأَكثَرُهُم في الشَرعِ آثارا

If left, the greatest of them visited

A destiny, and most of them have traces in law

المالِكي وَالحَنِيفِيُّ اللَذانِ هُما

في العَصرِ كانا أَجَلَّ الناسِ مِقدارا

Al-Maliki and Al-Hanifi who were

The most esteemed people of the time by merit

التابعانِ الإِمامَينِ اللَذَينِ هُما

أَصلُ الشَريعةِ إِخباراً وَتَنظارا

The two followers, the imams who

Are the origin of the Shariah by narration and consideration

الأَصبَحِيُّ وَنُعمانٌ فَلا بَرِحا

يَسقِي ضَريحَهُما الرَحمَنُ مِدرارا

Al-Asbahi and Nu’man did not cease to

Have their tombs watered by the Merciful, flowing
