يا حُسينُ وَأَنت واللّه ممّن

حبُّهُ في الحشاشة والصميمِ

O Hussein, and you are by Allah of those

Whose love is intrinsic and in the innermost core

حسنٌ أنت صغّروك اِحتجاجاً

لِمَجيء التصغير للتعظيمِ

You are good, they belittled you as objection

For the diminutive to come is for the greatest esteem
