وَما زِلتُ مُذ لَدُنُ اعطِيتُهُ

أُدافِع عَنه حِمامَ الأَجَل

Since I was granted him as a gift

I have defended him from the dove of fate

أُعَوّذه دائِماً بِالقُرآن

وَأَرمِي بِطرفي إِلى حَيثُ حَلّ

I always protect him with the Quran

And I cast my eyes wherever he settles

فَأَضحَت يَدي قَصدُها واحِد

إِلى حَيثُ حلَّ فَلَم يَرتَحِل

So my hand's purpose has become one

Towards wherever he settled and did not move

بِنَفسي حَبيب ثَوى في الثَّرى

وَشارِقُ حُسن بِهِ قَد أَفل

With my soul a beloved who dwelled in the soil

And the rising sun of his beauty has set
