إِنَّ الكِرامَ عَلى ما كانَ مِن خُلُقٍ

رَهطُ اِمرِئٍ خارَهُ لِلدينِ مُختارُ

The noble ones stay true to their virtuous ways,

A people whose leader shuns false religion.

طَبُّ بَصيرٌ بِأَضغانِ الرِجالِ وَلَم

يُعدَل بِحَبرِ رَسولِ اللَهِ أَحبارُ

Keen insight into men’s hearts, Rightly-guided,

None can match the Prophet’s writings, scholars all.

وَقَطرَةٌ قَطَرَت إِذ حانَ مَوعِدُها

وَكُلُّ شَيءٍ لَهُ وَقتٌ وَمِقدارُ

A single teardrop falls when its time is due,

For everything has its proper time and measure.

حَتّى تَنَصَّلَها في مَسجِدٍ طُهُرٍ

عَلى إِمامِ هُدىً إِنَّ مَعشَرٌ جاروا

It fell in a sacred mosque on the Imam of Guidance -

A band had come to force Abu Hassan inside

حُمَّت لِيَدخُلَ جَنّاتٍ أَبو حَسَنٍ

وَأَوجَبَت بَعدَهُ لِلقاتِلِ النارُ

So he could enter the Gardens, but for his killer

It made obligatory the hellfire afterwards.
