أَبا دُلَفٍ السَماحَةَ لَم تَزَل

أَبا دُلَفٍ السَماحَةَ لَم تَزَل

مُغَلَّلَةً تشكو إِلى اللَهِ غُلَّها

مُغَلَّلَةً تشكو إِلى اللَهِ غُلَّها

O Abu Dulaf, generosity had always remained

Abu Dulaf, your forbearance remained

shackled, complaining to God of her fetters.

Chained, complaining to God of its shackles,

فَبَشَّرَها رَبّي بِميلاد قاسِمٍ

فَبَشَّرَها رَبّي بِميلاد قاسِمٍ

فَأَرسَلَ جِبريلاً إِلَيها فَحَلَّها

فَأَرسَلَ جِبريلاً إِلَيها فَحَلَّها

Then my Lord gave her glad tidings of Qasim's birth,

So my Lord gave you the good news of Qasim's birth,

and sent Gabriel to her, who unshackled her.

And sent Gabriel to you, to unchain it.
