1. قَدْ حَوَيْنَا كُلَّ مَا شَيْءٍ حَسَنْ

    بِحِِمَى مَوْلاَيَ عِيسَى بْنِ الْحَسَنْ

    We have gathered every beautiful thing

    in the sanctuary of my lord Isa ibn al-Hasan.

  2. فَاقْتَبَسْنَا النَُّورَ مِنْ وَجْهِ الْحَسَنْ

    وَأَكَلْنَا اللَّحْمَ وَالشَّهْدَ الْحَسَنْ

    So we drew light from al-Hasan’s face,

    and ate meat and fine honeycomb.

  3. وَمَضَى الأُنْسُ لَنَا يَوْمَ مَضَى

    مَا لِيَوْمٍ فِي مَضَا عِنْدِي ثَمَنْ

    And a day passed for us in pleasant companionship—

    no price can I put on that bygone day.

  4. هَطَلَتْ فِيهِ لَنَا سُحْبُ الْمُنَى

    إِذْ جَرَى النَّهْرُ بِأَنْوَاعِ الْمِنَنْ

    The clouds of wishes poured down on us that day,

    as the river flowed with every kind of bounty.
