لَكَ الوَيلُ مِن عَيني خُبَيبٍ وَثابِتٍ

وَحَمزَةَ أَشباهِ الحِداءِ التَوائِمِ

Woe to you from the eyes of Khubayb and Thabit,

And Hamza, peers of firm resolve,

تُخَبِّرُ مَن لاقَيتَ أَنَّكَ عائِذٌ

بِلَ العائِذُ المَظلومُ في سِجنِ عارِمِ

Inform whoever you meet that you take refuge

In Allah - the oppressed takes refuge from tyranny in the Almighty's prison,

وَمَن يَرَ هَذا الشَيخَ بِالخَيفِ مِن مِنىً

مِنَ الناسِ يَعلَم أَنَّهُ غَيرُ ظالِمِ

And whoever sees this venerable man fleeing from Minā

From the people knows that he is not an oppressor,

وَصِيُّ النَبِيِّ المُصطَفى وَاِبنُ عَمِّهِ

وَفَكّاكُ أَغلالٍ وَقاضي مَغارِمِ

The successor of Al-Mustafā the Prophet, and his cousin,

The remover of shackles and judge of disputes,

أَبى فَهوَ لا يَشري هُدىً بِضَلالَةٍ

وَلا يَتَّقي في اللَهِ لَومَةَ لائِمِ

He refused and thus does not give guidance through misguidance,

And does not, for Allah, fear the blame of any blamer,

وَنَحنُ بِحَمدِ اللَهِ نَتلو كِتابَهُ

حُلولاً بِهَذا الخَيفِ خَيفِ المَحارِمِ

And we, by the grace of Allah, recite His Book,

As a diversion in this modest place, the abode of the sacred,

بِحَيثُ الحَمامُ آمِنُ الرَوعِ ساكِنٌ

وَحَيثُ العَدُوُّ كَالصَديقِ المُسالِمِ

Where the doves are safe from alarm and settled in tranquility,

And where the enemy is like a friendly peacemaker,

فَما وَرَقُ الدُنيا بِباقٍ لِأَهلِهِ

وَلا شِدَّةُ البَلوى بِضَربَةِ لازِمِ

The leaves of worldly life do not last for its people,

Nor do intense afflictions always remain,

فَلا تَجزَعَن مِن شِدَّةٍ إِنَّ بَعدَها

فَوارِجَ تَلوي بالخُطوبِ العَظائِمِ

So do not despair from any severity, for after it

Come burdensome events that twist mighty affairs,
