من ليلةٍ باتَ مَوعوكاً أبو حسن

فيها يُكابِدُ من حُمّى ومن أَلَمِ

Abu Hassan spent a night in great pain

In it he suffered from fever and agony

إذ قال من بَعد ما صلّى النبيُّ لهُ

أبشِرْ فقد ألتَ من وَعْكِ ومن سَقَمِ

After the Prophet had prayed for him, he said

Rejoice, for you are cured of your illness and affliction

وما سألتُ لِنفسي قِيد أنْمُلةٍ

من فضلِ عِلم ولا حِلم ولا فَهَمِ

I have never asked for myself, even an ant's worth

Of knowledge, wisdom or understanding

إلا سألتُ لكمْ مثلَ الذي ظَفِرتْ

كفِّي به ذا لذي الآلاءِ والكرمِ

Except I asked for you the likes of what I gained

That satisfied me from the One with blessings and generosity
