يا أبا العباسِ قرضٌ

ليَ مُذْ حينٍ لديْكا

O father of Abbas, I have

For some time now a debt with you

وقضاءُ القرْضِ فرضٌ

يا أخا المجدِ عليكا

And repaying a debt is a duty

O brother of glory, it is upon you

فاقْضني ديْناً حميداً

مكَّنَ اللَّهُ يديكا

So repay me a good debt

God has empowered your hands

حُقَّ بالإنصافِ خصمٌ

رفعَ العَدْوَى إليكا

The opponent deserves justice

He has raised his grievance to you
