سألت الله بارينا يبلّغنا أمانينا ويذهب مننا الأكثر بجاه المصطفى المختار ويحيينا ولا نتقوى بعملنا ولا نهوى ويذهب مننا الأكثر بجاه المصطفى المختار بجاه المصطفى المختار نشاهد حسن منهوى وتدنو مننا ألوان نشاهدها بهذا الدرر بجاه المصطفى المختار سألت الله بارينا يبلّغنا أمانينا
ويذهب مننا الأكثر بجاه المصطفى المختار بجاه المصطفى المختار
