1. وَمُؤَمّلٍ لِلنائِبات إِذا

    هَبّ الزَّمانُ بِأزمَة هَبّا

    And one relied upon in calamities, when

    Time rose with a crisis, he too arose.

  2. لما رَآني نَهبَ حادِثَة

    جَعل الذَّخائِرَ دونها نَهبا

    When he saw me prey to a calamity,

    He made his treasures plunder to bar its way.

  3. أفضى إِلَيّ مورّعا لحمى

    فَحَمى وَجاهَدَ دونِيَ الخَطبا

    He came to me, shielding my flesh,

    And protected me and fought the calamity in my defense.

  4. ما كَفّ حَتّى كَفّ آخرَه

    وَلَقَد يَكون بِمِثلها طَبّا

    He did not cease until he checked the last of it.

    And indeed, he is skilled at handling such afflictions.
