1. If the passing days have made our leader dear,
No arrow went astray when rightly aimed.

2. For he whose absence we bemoaned with fear,
Preparing for the hour of need, was named

3. Imam and guide whose justice filled the lands,
Yet raided wealth and ruled with heavy hands.

4. So God who cares for all has let him stay,
While never has the moon's white banner strayed.
