1. The lights of Islam shone brightly through you,
Just as your destiny made happiness flow.

2. He who wisely ordains all things
Chooses what good He desires.

3. If a servant's intention is sincere to God,
Its effects in the universe will undoubtedly show.

4. It's a wondrous secret God wanted to reveal
When you came, though many mysteries remain obscure.

5. Through you, the Lord of the Throne made His wisdom manifest
As He made the veil lift before the flash lit the flintstones.

6. Discordant desires were united through you,
And fires blazed between them before you came.

7. So after God guided them,
After hardship and estrangement they again became brethren in faith.

8. Say to those who are adorned with words of righteousness
That a name, if deeds don't match, is disgraceful.

9. Your ignorance of God led you astray
To think no supporters of Islam can be found.

10. You saw obedience to the Turks as obligatory
Because in your eyes they adorned the Holy House.

11. As if you never saw what the innocence of Ammar disclosed,
Your insights about it are confused and your sights blurred.

12. Just as to them association and unbelief are dear,
And whether good or evil, they are prone to both.

13. To them the Quran's decrees would oppress the Caliph,
So they opposed it with their own forged traditions.

14. Doubtless with their innovations they are infidels,
Is it ignorance of their state, or following whims and deceits intoxicating?

15. When the Turkish dogs stirred trouble amongst you,
You danced though no defenders of the faith stood guard.

16. Why follow not an Imam whose sole purpose
Is to aid Muslims and make Islam manifest?

17. Abdul Aziz, for whose rule the regions yearn,
The branch from the Prophet and the brilliant stars of early times.

18. We used to pass the dead and envy them
When affairs were ruled by the wicked before him.

19. Now the times are good under his reign,
As the strings of guidance and faith are strummed.

20. I say, and the truest words are most sincere,
Whether warning and reminders can benefit you now.

21. Think not these are embellished tales
Told by revelers amidst throngs making merry.

22. Soon the bells of remorse will toll,
When a deceitful betrayer hands you over for a time.

23. When the defenders of faith come led by a lion,
Fierce of claw and fang, no prey escapes his grip.

24. Do not transgress the domains of kings,
Else the houses will be ruined and homes wrecked.

25. The robe of renunciation should be their garb,
When orators and poets wag tongues in circles of wine.

26. They heal the wounds of the downtrodden, and none can protect
The tyrannical from their might, nor deter their arm.

27. How often he counseled you out of compassion, hoping
That you would thus find guidance, if you had insight.

28. The most ignorant are those who know not their own worth,
Or are fooled when the battlefield is empty of heroes.

29. He who builds his abode in the path of the floods
Will surely one day face destruction from the waters.

30. But you were misled by those who bring you no fortune-
Wicked slaves, nomads, and clamoring riffraff.

31. Fortresses will deliver you to ruin,
As it was for him who built the lofty encampment.

32. But your besiegement in the depths of your homes
He also saw as disgrace and belittlement.

33. So the protector of truths set fires openly around you,
Sparks of passion to kindle the blaze.

34. The son of the Imam, who his father
Appointed as a shooting star containing a storm.

35. No wonder the cub follows in the footsteps
Of the lion, if the running ground extends far enough!

36. You've been left as an incomplete image with no hands to grip
Or feet to walk if they march.

37. Repent to Islam, else await a day that will be
Renowned and spoken of in reports!

38. These are the words of one giving sincere advice.
And advice, to the wise, brings recollection.

39. Then blessings upon the Guide, his followers,
And his companions, as long as birds fly through the air!
