أَخذْتُ بِحَبْلٍ من حِبالِ مُحّمدٍ

أَمِنْتُ بهِ مِن طارِق الحَدَثانِ

I took a rope of Muhammad's ropes

I felt safe with it from the knocker of events

أَمسكَتَني أَمسِ بالمعروفِ لاعَدِمَتْ

حَالاكَ واليومَ تَسْرِيحي بإحسانِ

It held me yesterday to virtue, may it not lack

Thy state today and my release with kindness
