وأبرصٍ من بني الزواني

ملمعٍ أبلق اليدين

With brightest hands and the most brilliant eyes

Of the Zuwani's youthful progeny

قلت وقد لج بي أذاه

وزاد ما بينه وبيني

I said, as his violence overwhelmed me,

And increased what was between us

يا معشر الشيعة الحقوني

قد ظفر الشمر بالحسين

O community of Shi'ites, help me!

Al-Shimr has triumphed over Al-Husayn
