بباب أبي أيوب السيد الذي
بهجرة خير الخلق تمت سعادته
At the door of Abi Ayyub, the noble one
Whose happiness was completed by the emigration of the best of creation
وأكرم المختار إذ صار ضيفه
وناخت له فضلاً على الباب ناقته
And the Chosen One was honored when he became his guest
And his she-camel kneeled to him, excelling at the door
ألوذ وإني مرتج برحابه
وظني أن تسدي إلي عنايته
I take refuge, though I am anxious at its expanses
And I think his care will flow to me
فذاك فتى الأنصار خالد كوكب الصحا
بة من سامت ذرى النجم حالته
For that is the youth of the Helpers, the star of steadfastness
When the train of stars rose, so did his state
رئيس بني البحار سيدهم ومن
تعالت على هام السماكين رايته
The chief of the sea people, their master when
His banner rose above the highest of fish
حمى غراء الروم إذ ذاك مثله
مدى الدهر يحمي جنسه وعصابته
He protected the honor of Rome when his like was
Throughout time protecting his people and comrades
عليه رضاء اللَه ما لاح بارق
وما أدركت ملهوف قلب إغاثته
Upon him is the pleasure of God whenever dawn broke
And whenever a longing heart hoped for his aid
