يا عُدَّتي يا عُمدتي

يا قُدوتي يا جابري

O my reliance, O my pillar,

O my exemplar, O my consoler,

إنْ لمْ أجئْ معزِّياً

كنْ في انقطاعي عاذري

If I do not come to give solace,

Then in my absence, make excuses for me.

كمْ حاضرٍ كغائبٍ

وغائبٍ كحاضرِ

How many are present like absent,

And absent like present.
