1. For whom are the swift steeds and the trained horses,
Prancing, driven on by passion, stumbling?

2. Surrounding them are groups of men as if they were
A flock driven to Paradise to be gathered.

3. They are honored to carry the garment of their Prophet
Upon their heads - it is the green brocade.

4. And the sweetness of faith fills their hearts
And their tongues do not cease mentioning Him.

5. They weep from joy for Him with tears
Like pearls flowing down their cheeks.

6. Each has been pierced by yearning -
A melting liver, a blazing passion.

7. As though a gentle wind intoxicated them
Or itself was intoxicated.

8. Serenity and dignity are upon them
And the horses strut proudly in their adornment.

9. They carried the garments of our Prophet, seeking
Earnestly, through the nights, His blessing.

10. They prided themselves in touching them, gaining blessing -
Rightfully they pride themselves in this.

11. With it they came to the Prophet's tomb, and when
They saw the radiance of his shrine they rejoiced.

12. Where guidance is found, where nobility and piety -
Where virtues from him spread.

13. A sacred land, a pure soil,
And scenes where sins are forgiven.

14. And they wept in the places of his intimacy -
Drowsiness overcame their eyes and they sobbed.

15. When these domes appeared to them they cried "God is Great!"
And when this place appeared they pronounced "Allahu Akbar!"

16. This is the Imam of the Muslims and the clearly guided path,
Its secret and its manifestation.

17. This is the ink of knowledge, this is its portal -
From his breast the sciences gush forth.

18. This is the dawn of truth, this is its sun -
Its splendid sight delights the observant eye.

19. He who in every state continues to be
A flag above all flags, unchanging.

20. He who perfectly embodied all virtues -
The confessor of them succeeded, while the denier failed.

21. This is the object of desire, this is riches, this is piety,
This is guidance, this is supremacy and pride.

22. This is the greatest Imam, unique and peerless,
Whose effects remain while ages perish.

23. If the deviants deny the merit of our Imam,
They will recognize the truth and right, and deny it.

24. Cursed are the Rafidah, their tales
Are lies about the Prophet's family, fabricated.

25. The honored brilliant nobles
Are absolved of what they attribute and purified.

26. A despised sect attributed lies to them -
They spoke like the Jews and blasphemed.

27. And likewise the two Hishams who turned unbelievers -
The Imam Ja'far ruled they were infidels.

28. They evilly slandered the Prophet's companions,
And by saying scandal, he declares them unbelievers.

29. They are cursed for what they said, and from them hands
Were cut off, then they were humiliated and scorned.

30. Every year they slander Al-Husayn again,
Acting out enmity and imagining slander.

31. Woe to them from that disgrace! It is folded up
While in the hands of the Rafidah it is spread.

32. They concealed their religion out of hypocrisy and fear -
If it could emerge, they would make it prevail.

33. Or if his command could be implemented, they would be moved,
Or if they could hear his saying, they would be confused.

34. There is no good in a religion whose people
Conceal it from the common folk or hide.

35. This ostentatious piety is nothing but
Hypocrisy and that which the wicked desire.

36. They distorted the words of the Prophet and opposed
Him, altering the rulings within it.

37. If it were not for cursing the companions being their creed,
They would have become Jews in their religion or Christians.

38. They cursed our leaders and the stars of our faith -
Whom we hope for on Judgement Day and treasure.

39. They struggled fully in God's cause -
They overreached, but did not fail.

40. They opened lands by force
While misguidance within them was shattered.

41. Fighting the Rafidah is obligatory
And its practitioner is rewarded by Him and hired.

42. Whoever does not hate them is wavering,
Whoever does not declare them unbelievers is an unbeliever.

43. O exemplar of Islam, O flag of guidance -
Guidance appears from the light of your knowledge.

44. You inherited the sciences of the Prophet
For they flow in you like seas.

45. We came to you in the garment of Muhammad -
In it is pride, in it we choose.

46. Illuminated by the tomb of the best Messenger -
Blessed is that shining tomb!

47. And perfumed with the soil of the noblest presence -
Musk is some of its scent, and ambergris.

48. It is a mercy to the worlds and a kindness -
He is the giver of glad tidings to His creation, and the warner.

49. Seeking nearness through the Prophet Muhammad's intercession -
His tomb veils the Prophet's tomb.

50. O Lord, by Muhammad and his Household
By whom the traces of guidance have effect.

51. And by the aid of those who supported his religion -
Who clarified the paths of guidance when they appeared.

52. O Lord, by the scholars, the pillars of guidance,
Who act upon what You say and command.

53. We are Your servants, as You know of our state,
And a servant, my Lord, falls short.

54. All hope for the grace of their Lord's mercy
And fear the return of sins, cautious.

55. Humbled for their sins, falling short -
O You before Whose might the arrogant are abased.

56. So clothe us in the garment of Your clemency, we have
Naught but Your clemency, O Benevolent, to cloak us.

57. And forgive our sins by Your pardon, O Pardoning One -
Sins are insignificant next to Your pardon.

58. And aid the Imam of the Muslims and his army -
What an excellent Imam by whom we seek aid!

59. O Lord, forgive us for our slips -
Our sins are greater than what we know.

60. This is Ali who has come seeking intercession -
Hoping for reward when creation is gathered.

61. So answer him with forgiveness and disappoint his foe -
O You who succeeds by his pardon, give victory.

62. And raise his worth above the enemies' spite -
You are my Master, the One who gives victory.

63. Destroy by him all the people of misguidance -
To be dispersed by his sword and destroyed.

64. Support by him the upright religion - he is
Zealous for the faith, never changing.

65. He does not fear in God the blame of any blamer -
The adversary of enemies and greatest foe.
