ثَوَى عندَ الوَدِيَّةِ جَوْفَ بَصْرَى

أبو الأيتامِ والكَلِّ العِجَافِ

He settled in the valley near Basra

Guardian of orphans and the famished poor

فَمَنْ يَحْمِي المُضَافَ إذا دَعَاهُ

وَيَحْمِلُ خُطَّةَ الأَنِسِ الضِّعَافِ

So who will protect the guest when he calls

And shoulder the burden of the weak and poor
