1. There is none in time
To be hoped for averting calamities,

2. Nor for attaining desires,
Nor for giving generosities,

3. Other than you, O best guardian,
Called upon, O best ruler.

4. Look with your right at my state,
For you are with the state All-Knowing.

5. Al-Imam has shown us
That today he is fasting,

6. He hopes for no reward,
And fears no sins.

7. It is not hidden from him
That the oppressor has no fasting.

8. Our fasting in following him
Is the fasting of beasts.

9. So take for us today from him,
Our lunch while he is unwilling.
