يا وليًّا رجوته لوَلاه
عند دار الدنا ودار السلام
O saintly patron in whom I have placed my hope—were it not for him—
in this world’s abode and the Abode of Peace!
حبَّذا كوثر الجنان ورضوا
ن أناديه يا مضيف الكرام
How delightful are Paradise’s Kawthar and Riḍwā—
—n, whom I call: “O host of the noble,
إسْقني شربة ألذُّ عليها
واسقِ بالله مثلها ابن هشام
give me a draught that I may savor,
and, by God, give Ibn Hisham another like it.”
Sol 5.6
