بَني أَحمد يا خيرة اللَه في الوَرى

وَمِن حُبهم في طَي أَكبادِنا يُبنى

O sons of Ahmed, the best of Allah among people

And from love for them our livers are built

وَيا سادة شطوا وَشَط مَزارهم

سَلام عَلَيكُم إِن حَضَرنا وَإِن غبنا

And O masters extend and extend their tombs

Peace be upon you whether we are present or absent

طَهرتهم فطهرنا بِفاضل طهركم

وَطلتُم وَلَكن في مَحبتكم طلنا

You purified so we are purified by your superior purity

You sought so we sought but in your love we sought

وَسدنا بِكُم إِذا سدتُم الناس بِالتُقى

وَطبتم فَمِن آثار طيبكم طبنا

And we blocked when you blocked people with piety

And you were good so from traces of your goodness we were good

وَرثنا عَن الآباء عقد وَلائكُم

فَنَحنُ عَلَيهِ إِن بَقينا وَإِن متنا

We inherited from our fathers loyalty to you

So we are upon it whether we remain or pass away

وَنَحنُ بِهِ نَرقى العلى في حياتِنا

وَنَحنُ إِذا متنا نورثه الأَبنا

And with it we ascend the highest in our lives

And when we die we bequeath it to our sons
