إِنّي أَتَيتُكُمُ مِنَ القَبرِ

إِنّي أَتَيتُكُمُ مِنَ القَبرِ

وَالناسُ مُحتَبِسونَ لِلحَشرِ

وَالناسُ مُحتَبِسونَ لِلحَشرِ

Indeed, I have come to you from the grave,

I have come to you from the grave

I have come to you returning from the grave,

While the people are held awaiting the Gathering.

While people are detained for the resurrection

While others wait confined for Judgment Day.

لَولا أَبو العَبّاسِ ما نَظَرَت

لَولا أَبو العَبّاسِ ما نَظَرَت

عَيني إِلى وَلَدٍ وَلا وَفرِ

عَيني إِلى وَلَدٍ وَلا وَفرِ

But for Abu al-Abbas, never would

If it were not for Abu al-Abbas I would not have seen

Were it not for Abu al-Abbas, my eye

My eye have looked upon a child or wealth.

My eyes looking upon a son or kinsman

Would not have looked on children or on wealth.

اللَهُ أَلبَسَني بِهِ نِعَماً

اللَهُ أَلبَسَني بِهِ نِعَماً

شَغَلَت جَسامَتُها يَدي شُكري

شَغَلَت جَسامَتُها يَدي شُكري

Through him, God clothed me in blessings;

God has clothed me through him with bounties

Through him, God robed me in such benefits,

Their immensity kept both hands of my gratitude busy.

Whose greatness has kept my hands busy with gratitude

Their weight preoccupied my hand of thanks.

لُقِّنتُها مِن مُفهِمٍ فَهِمٍ

لُقِّنتُها مِن مُفهِمٍ فَهِمٍ

فَعَقَدتُها بِأَنامِلٍ عَشرِ

فَعَقَدتُها بِأَنامِلٍ عَشرِ

I was taught them by a discerning instructor,

I was taught by one who understands, understands well

I learned this from a sage of deep insight,

So I counted them off on ten fingertips.

So I grasped them with ten fingers

And knotted it with all ten fingertips.
