1. يا سادَةً بِمديحهم حزتُ العُلا

    وَبَلَغتُ مِن نيل السَعادَةِ مَأملا

    O masters, by praising them I gained elevation

    And attained the hopes of fortune's favor

  2. لي مِنكُم أَنّى أَرَدت تَوسّلا

    جثث بِطيبة وَالغريّ وَكَربلا

    From you all I seek intercession whenever I desire

    The martyrs of Karbala, Tus, and Samarra

  3. وَالطوس وَالزورا وَسامرّاءِ

    هُم عدَّتي حَيث الأَحبّة أَعرَضَت

    Are my assets whenever friends have abandoned me

    And the hands of time have been against me

  4. عَنّي وَلي أَيدي الزَمان تَعَرَّضت

    حَيّا الحَيا مِنهُم عُهوداً قَد مَضَت

    They were the living whose pacts have passed

    Never did I seek their aid without it being granted

  5. ما جِئتهُم في حاجَةٍ إِلّا اِنقَضَت

    وَتَبَدَّل الضَرّاءُ بِالسَرّاءِ

    And adversity was replaced by prosperity
