1. وَجاهَ وجهك يَحميني وَيمنعني

    مِن بَغي ذي حسد أَو شامت شاني

    And the honor of your countenance protects and shields me

    From the aggression of an envious person or a gloating hater.

  2. اني دَعَوتك مِن نيابَتي برع

    وَأَنتَ أَسمع من يَدعوه ذو شان

    Indeed, I have called upon you from my post in Buraʿ,

    And you hear best among those whom one in need invokes.

  3. وَاستَعينك يا فردا الجَلال عَلى

    دهر يُحاول بعد الربح خسراني

    And I seek your help, O peerless one in majesty, against

    Time, which seeks my loss after my gain.

  4. فاِعطف حَنانا عَلى عَبد الرَحيم ومن

    يَليه في الناس من صحب واخوان

    So turn tenderly toward ʿAbd al-Raḥīm and those

    Who are close to him among the people—companions and brothers.

  5. وامنع حَماى واكرمني وَصل نسبي

    برحمة وَكَرامات وَغُفران

    And guard my sanctuary, honor me, and favor my lineage

    With mercy, honors, and forgiveness.

  6. لا تعد عَيناك عَني بالرعاية في

    نَفسي وَسرى ومن في اللَه والاني

    Let your eyes not turn away from me in their watchful care for

    My soul, my inward secret, and whoever befriends me for God's sake.

  7. وَبعد صلى عَلَيك اللَه ما اِعتَنَقت

    ريح الصبا عذبات الاثل والبان

    And then, may God bless you as long as an embrace joins

    The east wind and the branch tips of tamarisk and moringa.

  8. وَعمّ صحبك والآل الكِرام سنا

    تَحيَّة منه تهدي كل رضوان

    And may your companions and noble family be enveloped in the radiance

    Of a greeting from Him, bestowing all His good pleasure.

  9. وَجاد أَرضا حوتك الغَيث منسَجِما

    يا منتهى صفتي حسن واحسان

    And may pouring rain drench the earth that holds you,

    O pinnacle of the twin qualities of beauty and beneficence.
