حرستك عين عناية

لا زلت محروسا بعين

My eyes guarded you with care

You remain guarded by an eye

لولا سوابق لطفه

حفتك يا ابن الأكرمين

If not for his preceding kindness

That embraced you, O son of the most noble

لغدوت فيكم قائلا

شهر المحرم والحسين

I would have become among you one who says

The month of Muharram and Hussein
