أَهاج البكا ربع باسفَل ذي السِدر

عَفاهُ اِختِلاف العَصر بَعدَك وَالقُطر

The weeping excites a quarter of Dhi As-Sidr

Time has healed it after you and the rain

نعم فَثَناني الوجد فَاِشتَقت لِلَّذي

ذَكَرت وَلَيسَ الشَوقُ الا مع الذِكر

Yes, longing saddens me, so I longed for the one

I remembered, for yearning is only with remembrance

حَلَفتُ بِرَبِّ الموضِعَينِ لِرَبِّهِم

وَحُرمَةِ ما بَينَ المَقامِ إِلى الحِجر

I swore by the Lord of the two places to their Lord

And the sanctity of what is between the standing place and the chamber

لَئِن حاجَتي يَوماً قَضيتُ وَرشتني

بِنَفحَة عُرفٍ من يَدَيكَ ابا بَشر

If one day my need is fulfilled and you spray me

With a breath of familiarity from your hands O Abaa Bashar

اِذاً تَعرِفن الدَهر مِنّي مودَّة

وَنُصحاً عَلى نُصح وَشُكراً عَلى شُكر

Then time will know from me affection

And good advice over advice and gratitude over gratitude

سَقى اللَهُ صَوت المُزن ارضاً عَمرتُها

برَيٍّ وَاِسقاها بِلاد بَني نَصر

May Allah water the voice of Al-Muzann the land I populated

With goodness and watered its cities with the sons of Nasr

بِوَجهِكَ فَاِستَعمَلت ما دُمت خائِفاً

لِرَبِّكَ تقضي راشِداً آخر الدَهر

With your face I have employed as long as I remain fearful

Of your Lord, ruling righteously till the end of time

لِتنقِذ اِصحابي وَتستُر عورَتي

بَدَت لَكَ من صَحبي فَاِنَّكَ ذو سَتر

To save my companions and conceal my disgrace

Which appeared to you from my companions, and you are one who conceals

فَما بِاِمير المُؤمِنين الى الَّتي

سَأَلت فَأَعطاني لِقَومي من فَقر

So what is with the Commander of the Faithful towards her

Who asked and gave me for my people from poverty

وَقَد خَرَجت مِنهُ إِلَيكَ فَلا تَكُن

بِمَوضِع بيضات الانوقِ من الوَكر

And I have come out from it to you so do not be

In the place of the burrows of the hare from the den
