1. دعوتُك يا عُمَرَ المكرُماتِ

    لأمرٍ عرَا ومهِمٍّ أَلمّْ

    I called upon you, O Umar of noble deeds,

    For a trouble that arose and a grave concern that struck.

  2. وأنتَ السّريعُ إلى مَن دعَاك

    بذاكَ قضى لكَ إرثُ الكَرمْ

    And you are swift to come to whoever calls upon you;

    Your inheritance of generosity has ordained this for you.

  3. وإن نَام حظّيَ عما عهدتُ

    فإنَّ اهتمامَكَ بي لَم يَنَمْ

    And if my fortune has slumbered, heedless of what I once knew,

    Then surely your care for me has not slept.
