يا أبَا الطَّيِّبِ الذي طابَ عيشي

في ذَراه وفازَ بالأنسِ قَلْبي

Oh father of goodness, he whose life is sweet

In whose protection my heart has found joy and won companionship

دعْ لِتقصيرنا المَعاذيرَ يامَنْ

هُو عُذرُ الزَّمانِ مِن كُلِّ ذَنْبِ

Overlook our shortcomings, O he who

Is the age's excuse for every sin
