1. Every caller for Ali
Is really calling for himself,
١. كل داع لعليٍّ
إنما يدعو لنفسِهْ
2. And for the one who wishes
His day returned and his fortune.
٢. وعلى من يتمنّى
يومه مرجوعُ وكسِه
3. He saw what he saw that day
Of Ali on his woeful day.
٣. قد رأى من قد رأى يو
مَ عليٍّ يوم تعسه
4. The enviers of Ali rejoiced
That they are the filling of his spear.
٤. وَدَّ حُسّادُ عليٍّ
أنهم حَشْوٌ لرمسه
5. Oh what attributes of Ali
They do not acknowledge as his virtues.
٥. أي وصافِ عليٍّ
لا يُقرّون بنحسه
