يَقولونَ لِي لَمَّا رَكِبتُ بطَالَتِي

رُكُوبَ فَتىً جَمّ الغَوَايَةِ مُعتَدِي

They say to me when I mounted my steed

Like a resolute knight with purpose and deed

أَعِندَكَ شَيءٌ تَرتَجي أَن تَنالَهُ

فَقُلتُ نَعَم عِندِي شَفَاعَةُ أَحمَدِ

Do you have something you wish to attain?

I said yes, I seek intercession of Ahmed
