أَهدى صَديقٌ لي من جُوَينِ

بَناتَ قَرٍّ رَضَعت ثَديينِ

A friend from Ghuwayn gifted me

Girls like young gazelles nursed my breasts

ماءُ سَحابٍ بِعدَ ماءٍ عينِ

كَأَنَّها سَبائِكُ اللُجينِ

Their water after the water of springs

As if they are pearls from Lujain

ما صاغَها بِالنارِ كَفُّ قينَ

أَو قِطعُ البلّورِ ملء العَينِ

Neither a skilled hand shaped them with fire

Nor pieces of crystal filled with grape juice

صافِيَةً مِن شَوبِ كُلِّ شَينِ

تَزينُ نادي القَومِ أَيّ زينِ

Pure, without any defects

Adorning the club of the people, what an adornment!

فيها شِفاءٌ مِن غَليلِ الحَينِ

حُبّي لَها حُبٌّ بِغَيرِ مَينِ

In them is cure from the suffering of time

My love for them is a love without inclination

مَحَبَّة الشيعَةِ لِلحُسَينِ

Like the Shia's love for Hussein
