1. A star began to shine for the soul
Like the full moon, it came unmatched

2. My brother, you who are so wise
We ask from you what's sweeter than your brother

3. The days will unleash him angrily
A gentle youth of fourteen years

4. So say he is a suckling infant
Suckling the breast of merit contentedly

5. Alert him, the completer of history
With the fall of the individual to the wise prophet

6. He came to a fatherly lord in a year
In which the forebearing was distinguished from the fool

7. The mother of the Most High gave birth, so record
Muhammad al-Rida was born in it
