يُقيمُ عَصا الإِسلامُ مِنّا اِبنُ أَحوَزٍ
إِذا ما عَصا الإِسلامِ لانَت كُعوبُها
The pillar of Islam among us is the son of Ahwaz
When the pillar of Islam bends, its ankles give way
أَخو غَمَراتٍ يَفرِجُ الشَكَّ عَزمُهُ
وَقَد يُنعِمُ النُعمى وَلا يَستَثيبُها
The brother of Ghamarat, his determination alleviates doubt
He may bestow favors upon the blind without rewarding them
لَقَد قادَ جُردَ الخَيلِ مِن جَنبِ واسِطٍ
يَثورُ أَمامَ الرائِحينَ عَكوبُها
He certainly led the horses without saddle from the side of Wasit
Facing the two winds, their ankles raging
وَشَهباءَ فيها لِلمَنايا مَناكِبٌ
إِذا أَقبَلَت يَوماً وَدَبَّ دَبيبُها
With gray hair in them for death are shoulders
When one day they advance and their creeping begins
