أَبَا غَالِبٍ ضُرِّي لجِسْميَ غَالِبُ

فَفِي عَصَبِي نَابٌ لَهُ وَمخَالِبُ

O Abu Ghalib, my affliction prevails over my body,

For within my nerves it has sunk its fangs and claws.

ألاَ إِنَّنِي أنَْزَلْتُهُ وَهْوَ صَادِقٌ

بِكُمْ كَيْ تَرُدُّوا حَدَّهُ وَهْوَ كَاذِبُ

Indeed, I have unloaded it, in all its fierce reality,

Before you, that you may repel its edge and render it false.

فَذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ مُسْتَفِيضٌ فَلاَ يُرَى

أَخُو عَاهَةٍ قَدْ جَاءَكُمْ وَهْوَ خَائِبُ

For this grace is overflowing from you, and never is it seen

That an afflicted soul comes to you and departs disappointed.

وَسِرُّكَ سِرُّ اللهِ لَيسَ بِزَائِلٍ

تَسُحُّ عَلَى مَثْوَاكَ مِنْهُ سَحَائِبُ

And your secret is the secret of Allah, never fading;

Clouds from Him pour down abundantly upon your resting place.

مَتَى يَدْعُكُمْ مَنْ ضَرُّهُ مُتَرَاكِبٌ

تُجِبْهُ كَرَامَاتٌ مِنْكَ وَمَنَاقِبُ

Whenever one burdened by compounding afflictions calls upon you,

He is answered by your miracles and glorious virtues.
