قَالُوا تَشَفَّعَ بِالْجَما

قَالُوا تَشَفَّعَ بِالْجَما

لِ وَلَوْ تَثَبَّتَ كانَ أَجْوَدْ

لِ وَلَوْ تَثَبَّتَ كانَ أَجْوَدْ

فَأَجَبْتُ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ

فَأَجَبْتُ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ

أَرْجو الشَّفاعَةَ مِن مُحَمَّدْ

أَرْجو الشَّفاعَةَ مِن مُحَمَّدْ

So I replied, 'Indeed, I am a Muslim;

I hope for the intercession of Muhammad."

I hope for intercession from Muhammad.'
