أَجِبني أَبا حَفصٍ لَقيتَ مُحَمَّداً

عَلى حَوضِهِ مُستَبشِراً وَرآكا

Answer me, O Abu Hafs, did you meet Muhammad

At his Pond, rejoicing, and he saw you?

فَأَنتَ اِمرُؤٌ كِلتا يَدَيكَ مُفيدَةٌ

شِمالُكَ خَيرٌ مِن يَمينِ سِواكا

So you are a man whose two hands are beneficial -

Your left is better than the right of others.

عَلامَ حِجابي زادَكَ اللَهُ رِفعَةً

وَفَضلاً وَماذا لِلحِجابِ دَعاكا

Why does the veil increase your loftiness

And virtue? What has the veil summoned you to?

بَلَغتَ مَدى المُجرِمينَ قَبلَكَ إِذ جَروا

وَلَم يَبلُغِ المُجرونَ بَعدُ مَداكا

You reached the extent of criminals before you, when they dragged along,

And the criminals have not yet reached your extent.

فَجَدّاكَ لا جَدَّينِ أَكرَمُ مِنهُما

هُناكَ تَناهى المَجدُ ثُمَّ هُناكا

So your two ancestors, there is no more honorable than them,

There glory reaches its end, and there reaches its end.
