1. If my words in praise of Ali offend you,
And you deny me what I seek,

2. Then know that Muhammad is one of us, and I
Am of those whose glory comes first, whose deeds speak.

3. With Ibn Abbas I find bounty enough,
I seek no lordships or riches from you.

4. Our House was built for worship; yet you dwell in it,
With the basest of men ruling over you.

5. Enough for me are the gifts bestowed on Ali,
Who enriched me beyond all measure.
