1. My heart is full of longing and desire
And it has become enamored and admiring

2. It is not mere infatuation with a beauty
Whose cheeks are like ivory, pure and smooth

3. It admires the one enthralled when drinking coffee
Or playing the oud and drums melodiously

4. Rather, it admires the melody of galloping horses
In a battle where a boy sees the war turbaned

5. The heroes advance victoriously for their religion
Filling the land with corpses and blood

6. After which those envious and arrogant with pride
Become defeated and forced to be silent

7. And it knows that truth has always
Been with the sublime, outstanding and perfect

8. And that by the sword there is honor and refuge
If one day the religion becomes feeble

9. And that the Messenger of God defeated a group
At Badr and did not waver, so he was garlanded

10. By the word of the Majestic God, almost our punishment
Would have touched you, if not for a prior Book

11. And the Muslims' attack is directed
Against all those with evil intentions living forbidden

12. Ali bin Al Hussein is our Imam
Who sees killing the corrupt for God as profitable

13. One day in Qadid he said to his army
Finish off those who flee or huddle stunned

14. He said this to Al Mukhtar about the people of Mecca
Obey me and do not hesitate with my words and regret

15. Every era has its leaders, and they
Betray you, the pact, the blood and the promise

16. If Abu Al Harr was alive, he would not sleep
Our swords would not be sheathed to rest

17. Our orphans and weak would not be oppressed
Nor would the path of truth be more crooked

18. But he passed away and after him came
Men who see humiliation in peace to be normal

19. They are people who do immorality and choose
Their wicked ones, justice and religion as a dirham

20. They are harder than solid rock
And weaker than blood when it is contaminated

21. They and the Merciful, the son of the beloved prohibits
Seeking their opinion, and he was decisive

22. I say to the one who has become miserly in love
Draws near to it, and hides from me to reside

23. And empowers the corrupt affectionately and fearfully
And does not fear our Lord, the heavens and sky

24. And tries to defame religion when he doesn't find
Anything but accusations in it, taking it as a refuge and shelter

25. Come closer to the Imam as he is the one
Who if deviates an inch, returns if he is a Muslim

26. And takes responsibility generously
While I would be bursting forth in the battle for him

27. And if you have decided I'm disgraced in Islam
Sufficient for you is what you've become certain of from blindness

28. That in which you've become is not disgraceful
But, by God, it has become revered

29. Does the estrangement delude you after you became
Emptied, and few have become estranged and attained eminence

30. What charity, jihad, marriage now
When you have become condemned with me

31. When you rob the palm of its due zakat
And cast the sword of affliction when it becomes old

32. The hellfire will scorch the face that turned away from guidance
Twisting with envy after once taking oaths

33. Leave defaming Islam and beware consequences
That make you inhabit the home of Hell fire

34. Leave the blameworthy envy and arrogance, I see
You keen to make me deprived

35. You mentioned that I don't care, you criminal
By leaving the washing of the oath-breakers wrathful

36. And you did not anticipate anything but lack of covenant and honesty
And you were not hoping for good in what you threw

37. Did you see their washing in Safina, or were you
In Qadid when you threw pebbles stunned?

38. Does He of the Throne not say in His words “And do not
Pray over those who die of them”—so know!

39. And did they do anything other than sit in their land,
Unlike the Messenger of God, when he marched and flung himself?

40. It’s as if you don’t know that I’m knowledgeable
Of the conduct of the people of justice, of those who hurl

41. Am I anything but a follower in their path?
Do I have anything but the course of truth as my belief?

42. I saw Saladin in what I came to him
And the Lord of the Throne is All-Knowing of what was elucidated and believed

43. A congregation member, when the imam gestures something
Cannot say “No” and “What” to him

44. Enough for you that I repented when
I left them from praying for them one day when I was deluded

45. I seek refuge for you through the Merciful, O you
Who are difficult for good words to touch your mouth

46. For yesterday has passed so we hope for you tomorrow
And you have not left caprice so be honored

47. Take them, for in them is shelter and protection
For whoever stirred in the war of enemies and was resolute

48. But it makes the envious drink and the ones whose thirst was quenched
Of the intellects of the weak in religion with doubt are muzzled

49. Since I ruled them and made them
To cut off the disobedient excuses firmly

50. So that religion does not die after the first prohibitors
For the saying of a misguided weak one if he speaks

51. I named it Az-Zahra for how it shone
And became a landmark for the people of religion and knowledge

52. And I completed it with gratitude, praise and lauding
For the Lord Who blessed me with jihad and honored me

53. And saved me from describing someone who was
A worshipper on the edge of a blazing Hell fire

54. And supported me with victory by the most generous nation
A flock of the valley of Hadramawt, the systematic

55. But you see in them the stars on earth
As you may see stars in the sky at night

56. Peace be upon the brothers in religion wherever
They turned for travel or camped

57. And bless the Chosen One Ahmad our Lord
Blessed him then blessed and greeted
