أميرُنا زاهدٌ والنّاسُ قد زَهِدُوا

لَه فكلّ على الطّاعاتِ مُنكمِشُ

Our prince abstains, and the people abstain too

For him, so all are withdrawn into obedience

أيّامُه مثلَ شَهر الصّوْمِ طاهرةٌ

من المعَاصِي وفيهَا الجوعُ والعطَشُ

His days are as pure as the fasting month

Free from sins, with hunger and thirst in them
