مُعاذٌ ملاذٌ لزُوّادِه

ولا جارَ أكرَمُ من جارِهِ

Mu'adh is a refuge for his intimates

Mu'adh is a sanctuary for those who seek his bounty,

And no neighbor is more generous than his neighbor

And no neighbor is more honored than the one beside him.

كأنّ الحطيمَ على بابهِ

وزَمزَمَ والبيتَ في دارهِ

As if firewood were at his door

It is as though the sacred Hatim stood at his gate,

And Zamzam and home were in his abode

And the well of Zamzam and the Holy House within his dwelling.

وكم من حريقِ أتى مرَّةً

فلَم يعمَلِ الماءُ في نارِهِ

And how many fires came once

How often has a burning blaze approached him,

But the water did not work against its flames

Yet water remained powerless against his fire.
