دعوناك لما أن تقلب دهرنا

علينا أيا جبار أقهر عدونا

We called upon You when our fortunes turned

against us; O All-Compelling One, vanquish our enemy.

بحق ابن خنسا ثابت في مواقف

أنلني لواء الفخر واحم نفوسنا

By the merit of Thabit, son of Khansa, steadfast in encounters,

grant me the banner of glory and protect our souls.

كذا ثابت أعني ابن خالد أجتني

أطايب خير لا ترام لمن جنا

Likewise, through Thabit—I mean the son of Khalid—I gather

the choicest blessings, beyond the reach of one who has sinned.

واسل علام بثابت من غدا

سمير رسول فرج غمومنا

And I ask You, All-Knowing One, through Thabit, who became

the Messenger's companion in evening conversation: dispel our sorrows.

كذا ثابت أعني أبن عمرو وثابت

غدا نجل هزل أنلنا مرادنا

Likewise, through Thabit—I mean the son of ʿAmr—and Thabit,

who was the son of Hazl: grant us our desire.

وثعلبه يسمى ابن حاطب دلنا

عليك فيا له ربي لك الثنا

And through Thaʿlaba, called the son of Hatib, guide us

to You; O [God], my Lord, Yours is praise.

وثعلبة يسمى ابن عمرو وتولنا

بطلف خفيّ يا إلهي واهدنا

And through Thaʿlaba, called the son of ʿAmr, take us into Your care,

with hidden kindness, O my God, and guide us.

كذا ثقف أدعو إلهي بحقه

يسمى ابن عمرو فالحضائر حلنا

Likewise, I call upon You, my God, by Thaqf's merit,

called the son of ʿAmr; so lodge us in the enclosures.

وثعلبة يسمى ابن عنمة

And through Thaʿlaba, called the son of ʿAnama.
