يا بن الإمام العسكريّ ومَن

ربُّ السماءِ لدينه انتجبَه

O son of Imam al-Askari, the one

Whom the Lord of the heavens chose for His religion

أفهكذا تُغضي وأنت ترى

نارَ الوباءِ تشبُّ ملتهبه

Is this how you turn away while you see

The fire of the pandemic blazing furiously?

لا تنطفي إلاِّ بغاديةٍ

من لطفكم تنهلُّ منسكبه

It will only be extinguished by a downpour

Of your kindness pouring heavily

أيضيقُ عنَّا جاهُكم ولقد

وَسِعَ الوجودَ وكنتم سببه

Is your status too narrow for us, while indeed

Existence was expanded and you were its cause

الغوثَ أدركنا فلا أحدٌ

أبداً سواكَ يغيثُ مَن نَدبه

Help us urgently, for no one

Can ever relieve those who call upon him except you

غضِبَ الإِلهُ وأنت رحمتهُ

يا رحمةَ اللهِ اسبقي غَضبَه

God was angry but you are His mercy

O God's mercy, precede His anger
