إِعصِ الهَوى وَتَعَزَّ عَن سُعداكا
فَلَمِثلُ حِلمِكَ عَن هَواكَ نَهاكا
Defy passion, and steel yourself against your Suʿdā.
Let your self-command hold your reason aloof from passion.
أَحيا لَنا سُنَنَ النّبِيِّ سَمِيُّهُ
قَدَّ الشِراكِ بِهِ قَرَنتَ شِراكا
His namesake has revived for us the Prophet’s ways.
Through him, you matched thong to thong, cut to the selfsame measure.
