عَطفاً عَلَينا يا عَزيزُ فَإِنَّنا

بَعدَ المُعَظَّمِ عِندَكُم أَيتامُ

Have mercy on us, O noble one, for we are

Orphans, after the revered one's passing, in your care

وَلَأَنتَ خَيرُ الكافِلينَ فَلا تَدَع

أَيتامَكُم يا اِبنَ الكِرامِ تُضامُ

For you are the best of guardians, so do not neglect

Your orphans, O son of nobles, lest they suffer

حاشا لِمَجدِكُم الأَثيلِ بِأَن نُرى

في بابِ غَيرِكُم وَنَحنُ قِيامُ

Far be it from your eternal glory, that we would stand

At another's door, while in your service, standing
