عوذت مولانا برب الناس

من شر باغٍ ماكر خناس

I sought refuge with the Lord of mankind

From the evil of a deceitful, sly garden

وحفظت من كيد الحسود فانه

ابداً يوسوس في صدور الناس

And I was protected from the envy of the envious one for he

Always whispers malice into the hearts of people

ووقيت من عادٍ جهولٍ دائب

في ضرب اخماس الى اسداس

And I was shielded from the harm of an ignorant, incessant one

Who keeps striking the quintessential to the commoners

فعزيزنا بالاصغرين بقلبه

ولسانه لا باشتعال الراس

So you who are dear to us, have a heart

And tongue for the little ones, not an inflamed head

ولقد عهدنا منك شهم سياسةٍ

بجليل حكمته يلين القاسي

And we knew you had the generosity of statesmanship

With great wisdom that softens the harsh
