حُبُّ الْحُسَيْنْ

Hubbu al-Husayn

حُبُّ الْحُسَيْنْ وَسِيلَةُ السُّعَدَاءِوَضِيَاؤُهُ قَدْ عَمَّ فِي الْأَرْجَاءِ

Ḥubbu al-ḥusayn wasīlatu as-suʿadāʾi, Waḍiyāʾuhu qad ʿamma fī al-ʾarjāʾi

Love of al-Husayn is the means of the fortunate, and his radiance has spread through every region.

سِبْطٌ تَفَرَّعَ مِنْهُ نَسْلُ الْمُصْطَفَىوَأَضَاءَ مِصْرْ بِوَجْهِهِ الْوَضَّاءِ

Sibṭun tafarraʿa minhu naslu al-muṣṭafā, Waʾaḍāʾa miṣr biwajhihi al-waḍḍāʾi

A grandson from whom the line of the Chosen One branched out, who lit up Egypt with his radiant face.

فَهُوَ الْكَرِيمْ اِبْنُ الْكَرِيمْوَجَدُّهُ خَيْرُ الْأَنَامْ وَسَيِّدُ الشُّفَعَاءِ

Fahuwa al-karīm ibnu al-karīm, Wajadduhu khayru al-ʾanām wasayyidu ash-shufaʿāʾi

He is the noble one, son of the noble one, and his grandfather is the best of mankind and the master of intercessors.
