1. Death came to me as I was told
And I attained vengeance I sought

2. Rhymes that were but clouds
Watered the homes after their drought

3. When lit, their freshness was found
When drunk, their purity abounded

4. They congratulated me in the name of the Imam
Adorning beauty and sorrowing pottery

5. With them I wore upon my parting
A crown and bracelets on my wrists

6. Had I wished when they were facilitated for me
My hands would have spanned the horizons

7. But they were only to affirm a doubt
An obvious confusion, a night that was day

8. Why wouldn’t I have roots when
The Imam of the righteous became my creed

9. And when the grace of destiny
Clung to my heart, it became my neighbor

10. I forgave the lapses of time
And the great became small

11. And brotherly affection clothed him
When he called me or gestured towards me

12. If you take pride in your father Ar-Rashid
You have filled our breasts with pride

13. You are from a group who were given authority
Over monumental and mighty affairs

14. Their young rule over the white-haired
And they give the best solutions to predicaments

15. There is affection between us
And carpenter greets carpenter

16. We are all stabbing at the arrogant
You were the spear while we were the blades

17. So take them, though the mountains are long
And we were short of time for them

18. I still give you all you wish
And spare you all you fear
