1. The night of fever knew my vigil,
And the moon was the prey of greed.

2. I close my eyes to its beauty,
Yet my heart cannot forget what my eyelids see.

3. Fear of the Imam deters us from misguidance
As the warnings of old age and baldness.

4. His unsheathed swords
Are poised over the heads of vain desires and heresy.

5. His blessed names ennoble
The excellence of feast days and Fridays.
