1. Why not ask, O best successor,
About the heavenly maidens and the extent of our longing,

2. The people of prophethood, caliphate and piety,
God has honored us with them and granted us favor,

3. The Prophet's pond and our pond from Zamzam,
A thirsty man who has not seen our two ponds,

4. Quraysh knew that we are their prominent ones,
Who stands praising his people while excluding us,

5. And we have names that befit none but us,
And shrines that exult when they see us,

6. And our master acts with ease, not pretension,
Gently reaching the heights, our guardian.
