1. How long will I wander confused and hesitant
Roaming in the darkness of calamities unrestrained

2. While the earth shines with the light of its Lord
And the dawn gleams to the eye of the guided

3. More radiant than the house of prophethood and guidance
Like the full moon from the son of the Prophet Muhammad

4. Al-Qasim, the distributor, the ease of his palm
In the extension of kindness and clenching of fury

5. The Hashimi, the Talibi, the Fatimi
The heir, the most high on the throne

6. Ali gifted the world his guidance
In the folds of abstinence's gown and integrity's attire

7. Until he manifested to all virtues and supremacy
A moon circulating through the mansions of fortune

8. Advancing from an orient to another orient
Transferring from one master to another master

9. From every spirit sanctified in chastity
In every body adorned with glory

10. Shun the despised impurity and purify
Yourselves in the birthplace of the begetters and the birth

11. By the Lord of all existing and all yet to exist
Among them the lost is as if never lost

12. They were not given tidings of success until given tidings
Of the most righteous after ancestors and most glorious

13. Theirs are the prayers of our invocation and supplication
In every sermon of the pulpit and utterance of devotion

14. And their place in the heart of every battalion
Is as their place in the heart of every monotheist

15. They begot you, a tongue of truth about them
A branch that smells sweet to us with the scent of guidance

16. And they accepted you for every outstanding sermon
And deputized you to oppose every transgressing opponent

17. And for the voice of the imploring screamer
And the jaws of the supplicant bound in calamities

18. A king whose generosity equals his nobility
If he races towards a challenger or adversary

19. The neighing of his steeds tires me
In fervor - does he gently prod or fiercely goad?

20. Not the farthest horseman with his miracles, nor
His cavalry to the lowliest beneath the highest

21. The sword of the caliphate against the enemies and its trustee
Away from prying eyes and its adornment in public

22. It wears out its wings with perilous endeavors
And lulls its eyes with a reposing guardian

23. The generous struggled but did not approach any feat
You easily achieved without straining yourself

24. With you the fires of discord were extinguished
Without you, son of our Prophet, they would not be extinguished

25. Who but you, when men quarrel
Composes them with unified perspective?

26. And when the swords are bared in blind chaos
Sheathes them with a sheathed sword?

27. And for many a kindled spear you restrained
With pardon, never shaking a retreating pillar

28. O you, when my hand is joined with his
The assailants are the least my hand has held

29. And when I steady my pace at his courtyard
I have guaranteed my day from tomorrow

30. And the world returns me to your brother for refuge
From the evil habits of miserable times

31. And your tidings suffice as harbinger of wishes
And your acceptance fulfills promises

32. O son of the intercessor for us and most gracious model
For those who follow, and you are most worthy to follow

33. Stretch out your right hand interceding and interceded for
To earn eternal praise in eternity

34. O son of the trustee, command your namesake
Not to lose the namesake of your grandfather Ahmad

35. O quintessence of the two beauties, how excellent
Is heeding the affection of the gentle loving suitor

36. O you two moons, where is your radiance
From one shrouded in the night of worries blackened?

37. O you two rains, do you have for
The garden of integrity and knowledge in hallowed soil?

38. O two bright stars of the caliphate, prepare
The guide of peace for a bed from a bed

39. For I will make the praise of what I bestowed on you
Provision for every anxious or helper

40. Until the fragrance of my praise for him is heard
A tomb in Taybah or the mosque's courtyard

41. And when we come to the pool of your grandfather, listen
As your father quenches the eternal thirst

42. Gratitude for the hospitality you showed my dwelling
And praise for the bounty you provided from my stream

43. In sixty they were weakened and their number weakened
A burden for the distracted heart's thoughts

44. The exile tightened their saddles, so their dear ones bore
The sorrows of a heart distressed and scattered

45. And sudden calamities of fear dislodged them
Throughout the land, every dislodged soul

46. Neither their wombs coveted for their sake
A nest, nor those of their cradles in comfort

47. They sought refuge in the glimmer of the Household amid the glare of noon
After shade in the extended palaces

48. And they consented to wear the garb of generosity though it wore away
From them the faces of bounty and prosperity

49. And they resided seeking refuge on the sea of guidance
The horrors of a sea with foaming billows

50. From all dishonor they are veiled in pretense
And provided with patience without provision

51. And excellent is the compensation for poverty after wealth
And humiliation after honor, House of Muhammad
