1. O north wind, may you bear it;
Serve the most virtuous imam.

2. Stop in his sacred valley and look -
The light of guidance shining, never fading.

3. From a prideful, flourishing, prosperous Doha -
The roots of its glory stand firm.

4. Meccan in lineage, its origin is pure,
And its branches above the loftiest summit.

5. And seek rain from his hands, for long has he
Left the living in place of each departed year.

6. Good rains whose clouds return as they began;
Neither marked nor substitutes are known.

7. A sea who mastered knowledge, and if one saw
A sea who mastered before it in any gathering -

8. And exerting himself in God, he drags for piety
And religion the robes of decency draped.

9. With him perished heresies whose lives spanned
An age, and whose darkness did not recede.

10. With him, Islam ascended to the highest elevation,
While all else remained in the lowest valley.

11. One was mistaken about Abu Ali when comparing him -
Farfetched! Abu Ali falls short of none.

12. If Aristotle were to hear but a word
From his words, he would tremble convulsively.

13. And Ptolemy would be dumbfounded were he
To meet any of his convincing proofs for each problem.

14. Had they gathered before him, they would ascertain
That virtue was not for the ancients to claim.

15. With him wisdom rests protected if
The winds of passion shake my abode to its foundations.

16. He pardons major sins in his generosity
And grants favor unasked.

17. He pleased God with his deeds and defense
Of His religion, and delighted the Messenger.

18. O Master, whose ranks
Aim for the sphere of fixed stars and beyond -

19. No position exists but that your worth surpasses it.
So by your sublime glory every subsequent rank is honored.

20. Thus when God wants to elevate a position,
He grants it to you, attaining the noblest rank.

21. Your courtyard remains forever a station for delegations.
Your generosity a cave for every hopeful.
