1. All praise for what you have done is little,
Abundant thanks, though too brief and long,

2. You have raised the banner of excellence for the Truth,
And have followed guidance and the best path.

3. You have guided people to righteousness,
When the ignorant enemy almost led them astray.

4. You stayed awake while those I do not name slept,
And were it not for you, there would be wailing.

5. You have saved the blood of a people who
Have a noble covenant with the Muslims.

6. God bears witness they are the closest of people
To you in affection, as does the Messenger.

7. Your opponent has disputed that they are under your protection,
Supporting what cannot be verified.

8. We have what you have, a noble hadith,
As well as the Quran and the Gospel.

9. We have been commanded to do good, justice and kindness,
Not corruption - this is what Revelation dictates.

10. This is the law of religions, not showing mercy to a people
Whose claim is misguidance.

11. What religion permits pillage and murder?
Is that a reasonable doctrine?

12. Whoever permits them is an unbelieving ingrate,
With no proof in the religions.

13. O protectors of the sanctuary, you have tied my tongue
With hands I kiss.

14. O protectors of the sanctuary, through you the body of
Justice has been healed, though it has been unwell since ancient days.

15. This is the way of the honourable,
Thus the beloved guards the beloved.
