رَاشَ زَمَانِي وَبَرَى نَبْلَهُ

فَكُنْتَ لِي مِنْ وَقْعِهَا جُنّهْ

My age spread around and bore its arrows,

So you were to me a shield against their strike.

وَلَوْ قَهَرْتَ الْمَوْتَ أَمَّنْتَني

مِنْهُ وَأَدْخًلْتَنِي الْجِنَّهْ

Had you triumphed over death, you'd have secured me

From it and led me into paradise.

فَكَيْفَ لاَ أَنْشُرُهَا مِنَّةً

قَدْ عَرَفَتْهَا الإِنْسُ وَالْجِنَّهْ

How could I not recite it as a favor

When mankind and jinn alike know of it?
