كم لي على حبِّ طرفه

بنثرة الدمع صرفه

How much for my love at his glance

I have shed tears in abundance

وكم لها من شجون

أمام قلبي وخلفه

And how much grief she has

Before and behind my heart

وكم بجودِ عليٌّ

أغنى رجا الوفد كفّه

And how generous was Ali

Enriching the pilgrim's palm with bounty

وفاض لي منه بحرٌ

في جنبه البحر غرفه

And an ocean poured forth from him

By the sea he drew up a handful

وشلّ كفّ افتقار

عن راحتيَّ وكفه

And he freed the hand of poverty

From my comfort and grasp

للمالِ سرًّا وجهراً

لصاحبِ السرّ عطفه

For wealth secretly and openly

To the keeper of secrets his kindness

يا قادماً لي ومثلي

بفضلِ رؤياه طرفه

O you who came to me and my like

With the grace of his glance

ليهنك العام تلقى

ألف السعادة ألفه

May this year bring you happiness

A thousandfold in its thousands

أكرم بقصد حجًّا

وحول بابك وقفة

Make pilgrimage with intent

And circle around your door in supplication
