إِذا تَذَكَّرتَ شَجواً مِن أَخي ثِقَةٍ

فَاِذكُر أَخاكَ أَبا بَكرٍ بِما فَعَلا

When you recall the lament of a brother in trust

Remember your brother Abu Bakr and what he did

خَيرَ البَرِيَّةِ أَتقاها وَأَعدَلَها

إِلّا النَبِيَّ وَأَوفاها بِما حَمَلا

The best of mankind, most pious and just

Except the Prophet, fulfilling what he shouldered

وَالثانِيَ الصادِقَ المَحمودَ مَشهَدُهُ

وَأَوَّلَ الناسِ مِنهُم صَدَّقَ الرُسُلا

And the second, the truthful whose place is praised

First of the people to believe the messengers

وَثانِيَ اِثنَينِ في الغارِ المُنيفِ وَقَد

طافَ العَدُوُّ بِهِ إِذ صَعَّدَ الجَبَلا

Second of two in the secluded cave, when

The enemy roamed as they climbed the mountain

عاشَ حَميداً لِأَمرِ اللَهِ مُتَّبِعاً

بِهَديِ صاحِبِهِ الماضي وَما اِنتَقَلا

He lived praiseworthy, following God's command

With the guidance of his predecessor before he passed

وَكانَ حِبَّ رَسولِ اللَهِ قَد عَلِموا

مِنَ البَرِيَّةِ لَم يَعدِل بِهِ رَجُلا

And it was known that none among mankind

Loved the Messenger of God as he did
