1. يا أَهْلَ صَنْعا وإنْ كانَتْ أحِبَّتُنا

    فِيها فإنَّ الإمامَ الْمُرْتَجَى فِينا

    O people of Sana'a, though our loved ones are

    there, still the hoped-for imam is among us.

  2. الرَّأْسُ فِينا ورَأْسُ الشَّيْءِ أَشْرَفُهُ

    وعِنْدَنا صارَ راعِيكُمْ ورَاعِينا

    The head is among us, and the head of a thing is its noblest part.

    And your shepherd and ours is now with us.
