يا سَيِّدَ المُرسَلينَ أَنّي

مِن زُمرَةِ الأَهلِ وَالعَشيرَةِ

O master of messengers, I am

Of the tribe of family and kinsfolk

إِلَيكَ أُعَزّي أَباً وَأُمّاً

مِن سَيِّدٍ يَعتَزي لِخَيرَةِ

To you I complain of a father and mother

From a master who boasts of the elite

وَالجَهلُ لِلغَيِّ قَد رَمى بي

وَزادَ غَيّي عَمِيَّ البَصيرَةِ

Ignorance has cast me with the misguided

And increased my misguidance, blind of insight

وَيَعلَمُ اللَهُ قَدرَ ما بي

مِن هَولِ يَومٍ اِبتَلا السَريرَةِ

And God knows the extent of my

Horror on a day that tried the conscience

وَحَيثُ يا جَدُّ قُل جَدى

وَالنَفسُ كانَت إِذا غَريرَةِ

And wherever, o grandfather, say sincerity

While the soul was once capricious

وَقَد تَلى عَنكُم حَديثَ

ظَلَّت بِهِ عَينُنا قَريرَةِ

And the narrative about you has passed

Our eyes were tearful from it

مَعناهُ أَولادَكُم جَميعاً

أَبناءَ أَسباطِكَ الظَهيرَةِ

Its meaning, your children altogether

Sons of your radiant lineage

إِحسانُهُم عائِدٌ عَلَيهِم

وَإِن أَساؤا فَلا جَريرَةِ

Their benevolence returns to them

And if they did evil, no wickedness

فَكُن شَفيعي وَكُن ضَميني

مِصداقَ أَنبائِكَ المُنيرَةِ

So be my intercessor and guarantor

The truth of your enlightening tidings

فَإِنَّما جاهُكَ المُرَجّى

وَلَيسَ لي غَيرَهُ ذَخيرَةِ

For your eminent position is hoped for

And I have no other store
