1. يا أبا القاسم يا مَن

    غَمرَ الأمجادَ مجدُه

    O Abu al-Qasim, O you

    whose glory has eclipsed all glories,

  2. قيل لي قد حمّ أيّو

    بُ وقد بُثِّرَ جلدُه

    I was told that Ayyub had developed a fever,

    and his skin had broken out in pustules.

  3. فوقاكَ اللَهُ بأساً

    ليس في سعدكَ ردُّه

    So may God shield you from a calamity

    that your good fortune cannot avert,

  4. وأراكَ اللَهُ فيه

    ما رآهُ فيك جدّه

    and may God let you see in him

    what his grandfather saw in you.
