اِن بابَ الحسين في مِصر أَضحى

اِن بابَ الحسين في مِصر أَضحى

خَير باب سعت لَهُ الاِقدام

خَير باب سعت لَهُ الاِقدام

Indeed, al-Husayn’s gate in Egypt has become

The door of Al-Hussain in Egypt has become

The finest gate toward which feet have hastened.

The best door, to which feet flock.

من بَني هاشِم بن عَبد مَناف

من بَني هاشِم بن عَبد مَناف

بِضعَة حبها حِمى وَاِعتِصام

بِضعَة حبها حِمى وَاِعتِصام

From the descendants of Hashim, son of ʿAbd Manaf,

Of the Hashimites, the descendants of Abd Manaf,

A piece of their flesh, love for whom is sanctuary and refuge.

A precious one, whose love is protection and refuge.

فَاِدخُلوا جَهَنَّم وَزوروا حَماهُم

فَاِدخُلوا جَهَنَّم وَزوروا حَماهُم

فَهُم السادَة المُلوك الكِرام

فَهُم السادَة المُلوك الكِرام

So enter Hell and visit their sanctuary,

So enter Hell, and visit their protector,

For they are the lords, the noble kings.

For they are the masters, the noble kings.
