1. في شَهرِ مَولِدِ طَهَ

    ذاكَ الحَبيبُ المُقَرَّبُ

    In the month of Taha's birth

    That beloved one brought near

  2. عَلى نورٍ أَتاهُ

    بِنتُ لِتَسمو وَتُنجِبُ

    Upon a light he came to her

    So that she may transcend and give birth

  3. وَزَينَباً قَد دَعاها

    وَنِعمَ الاِسمِ المُحَبَّبُ

    And Zainab he had called her

    What a lovely, beloved name

  4. وَأَهلَها الكُلُّ قالوا

    أَهلاً وَسَهلاً وَمَرحَبُ

    And all her family said

    Welcome, greetings, joy to you

  5. أَما أَنا قُلتُ أَرخِ

    عَوذَتَ بِاللَهِ زَينَبُ

    As for me I said, "Bestow your protection

    O God upon Zainab"
