إِلى ابنِ أُمَّا إِمَام البَدوِ والحَضرِ

جُودَ الجَدَا المُجتَدَى الصَّافي مِنَ الكَدَرِ

To the son of the mother, the Imam of nomads and settlers

The generous, righteous, pure from murkiness

جُمَانَةِ الدَّهرِ فَوقَ النَّحرِ غُرَّتِه

إنسَانِ مُقلَتِهِ مَاوَى ذَوِى الوَطَرِ

The pearl of the age, above the throat its necklace

A human whose homeland is the refuge of the elite

ِنِبرَاسِ دِينِ الهُدَى حَامِى حَقَيقِته

غَوَّاصِ أَبحُرِهِ صَمصَامِهِ الذَّكَرِ

The lantern of the religion of guidance, protector of its truth

Diver of its seas,usamah of its remembrance

غَوثِ البَرَايَا ثِمَالِ المُرمِلينِ إِضَا

ضِ المُزعَجِينَ العَتَادِ المَعقِلِ الوَزَرِ

Succor of the distressed, shelter of the shuddering from cold

Refuge of the troubled, fortress of burdens

زَادِ المُسَافِرِ فَرَّاجِ الشَّدَائِدِ غَيثِ

المُسنِتِينِ إِذَا احتَاجُوا إلَى المَطَرِ

Of the supplicating when they need the rain

مُحيِى العدالةَ بعد الموت مُبرِزَها

في زَىِّ عَذرَاء في دَلٍّ وفي حَوَرِ

Reviver of justice after death, its challenger

In the guise of a chaste maiden, alluring and wonderful

يسمو ألى المجدِ غَادِياً ومُبتكِراً

لله أحمدُ مِن غَادٍ ومُبتَكِرِ

Rising to glory, proceeding and beginning early

To God belongs praise from a proceder and beginner

أسنَى سَلاَمٍ شَذَاهُ مِن شَمَائِلِهِ

وَمِن سَنَاهُ سَنَاهُ الكَاسِفُ القَمَرِ

Of goodly greeting, its redolence from his traits

And from extolling him the crescent moon is eclipsed

هَذَا ومُوجِبُهُ أَنَّى بِبعدِكَ مَسقِىُّ

الغَرَامِ مُصَابُ القَلبِ والسُّحُرِ

And what makes it obligatory, wherever you are distant

My passion's watering place, my heart and magic are smitten

تَعتَادني مِن جَواكُم زَفرَةٌ سَفَعَت

نِيرَانُ أشجَانِهَا الأحشاءَ بالذَّكَرِ

I have become accustomed by your absence to a groan igniting

The fires of its passions in the intestines by remembrance

إن يَزدَجِر عَن هَوَاهُ ذُو هُوىً فَأَنَا

عن حُبِّكُم طُولَ غَيرُ مُزدجِرِ

If one impassioned were to refuse his passion, then I

Of your love, long without refusing, am impassioned

أهوِى لِقَاكُم وإِن تَدنُوا أهُشُّ كَمَا

هَشَّ المُدَوِّخُ لِلمَفتُولِ والسُّكَرِ

I yearn to meet you, and if you come near I startle as

The intoxicated starts at the dizzy swoon
