إِذا نَزَلَ اِبنُ المُصطَفى بَطنَ تَلعَةٍ

نَفى جَدبَها وَاِخضَرَّ بِالغَيثِ عودُها

When the son of Mustafa descended upon the valley of Tal'a,

He banished its barrenness, and its branches grew green with rain.

وَزَيدٌ رَبيعُ الناسِ في كُلِّ شَتوَةٍ

إِذا اِختَلَفَت أَنواؤُها وَرُعودُها

And Zayd is the springtime of mankind in every wintry season,

When its days and nights alternate, and its thunders rumble.

حَمولٌ لِأَشتاتِ الدِياتِ كَأَنَّهُ

سِراجُ الدُجى إِذ مارَنَتهُ سُعودُها

Bearer of blood monies for casualties, he is as though

A lamp in the darkness when the winds of good fortune blow upon it.
