أَبو طالِبٍ كَفِلَ المُصطَفى

وَجاهَدَ عَنهُ وَجافى المَجافي

Abu Talib was the guardian of Mustafa

He struggled for him and shunned the severers

وَأَنفَقَ في نَصرِهِ مالِهِ

وَأَصفاهُ مِن وُدِّهِ كُلَّ صافِ

He spent his wealth in supporting him

And cleansed his affection for him of all turbidity

وَأَظهَرَ في الشِعرِ تَصديقَهُ

وَعَن قَولِهِ لَم يَمُت ذا اِنحِرافِ

He proclaimed his belief in him through poetry

And never deviated from his word

وَذا كافِرٌ وَاِبنُ حَربٍ بِهِ

غَدا مُؤمِناً ذا عَمىً غَيرُ خافِ

An unbeliever and Harb's son thereby

Became a blind believer, dreading naught
