وَرَدتَ أَبا الفَتح سَيّدي

وُرودَ الكَرى بَعدَ طول السهادْ

You came to me, my master Abul Fath

Like the flowers that bloom after prolonged gloom

وَلَمّا حَلَلتَ بِنا لَم تَحُلّ

مِن العين وَالقَلب غَيرَ السَوادْ

When you arrived, your coming did not lift

The darkness in my eyes and heart

ودمت مِنّا طَيوراً غَدَت

تَطيرُ إِلَيكَ بريشِ الوِدادْ

You became to me like birds

That fly to you on wings of love
