1. The embers in my ribs were rekindled
By leaves whose chirping recalled enchantments

2. Their rhyme aroused an echo borrowing flame
Lamenting with grief that brought the birds to tears

3. When it recalled the era of days gone by
Its tears of longing flowed in rivers

4. Weeping and grieving for a life now past
That left no trace in the plains it traversed

5. Clinging to a staff, hoping against hope
To catch up with the caravan that marched ahead

6. When its days came to pass and it grew old
And income from efforts began to wane

7. The call of departure summoned it, but found
No help or comrades from its life's work

8. It sought no comfort for its suffering
Or cure for its pain and anxious thoughts

9. Except praising Al-Hashimi and his comrades
For through them the glories of Saud bear fruit

10. So it found peace praising them in verse
In eulogies glorifying their noble name

11. Listen, my friend, to virtues recited
That surpass the fields of flowers in fragrance

12. For Muhammad is the sun of all glory
And his comrades are the orbiting moons

13. Aligned like the Pleiades in the galaxy's dome
Ascending with pride to celestial heights

14. Adorned in every virtue with ornaments
Robing the darkness in illuminating gowns

15. Fair of manner, famed for praise and story
That spreads like fields of blossoms in spring

16. Lights of glory lofty in the firmament
They were generous, building and carpentry

17. Their nature imprinted with the Prophet's nature
Progressing through his grace in every phase

18. The uniquely devout, the first conqueror
Bestowed bounty and preferred selflessness

19. When he crept into the robe as an honor
His righteousness surpassed the righteous ones

20. He was the chosen companion in his ordeals
The second by his side in the cave's refuge

21. Recite the lofty virtues of the Clear-Sighted One
For through him the guiding light shone for mankind

22. He unsheathed his sword for the truth
Vanquishing lands and nations alike

23. He whose heart Allah entrusted with mysteries
Of the unseen world and all it contains

24. And praise the martyr of the house, Uthman
Who clung to bashfulness and dignity

25. Many a night he wore the darkness in vigil
With tears flowing copiously from his eyes

26. The scholars wrote lines extolling his virtues
So read them and learn of his noble chronicled tales

27. Recall the Imam whose qualities
Refined his mettle, piercing and sharp

28. I mean Abu al-Hasan the cousin
Of Muhammad, the fierce attacking knight

29. The lion of battle when the horsemen
Wielded spears and the brave flexed bowstrings

30. And likewise Khudhayfa, Sa’d, and Zubayr
The helpers of religion, Ahmad’s comrades

31. Abu Ubaydah, Ibn ‘Awf and Suwayd
All who attained glory and pride

32. Seek refuge in the seeds of all companions
For they are the pillars of glorious deeds

33. Let your life pass in praising their virtues
Reaping tomorrow the chosen praise

34. And to the cups made sacred by their presence
Cease the barren search in arid deserts

35. For they are the full moons when lacks crescents
The suns when daylight hours are missed

36. Ahmad's comrades are stars for one guided
Lit by his guiding light when paths are unclear

37. Through Ahmad, his family, and companions
Suns of perfection's glory rose undimmed

38. For them were standards raised and covenants pledged
Fires ignited and flared in souls and minds

39. By Allah, O morning breeze, greet at dawn
The dwellings of the beloved you visit

40. Convey my longing lover's greeting
Whose heart has fluttered off in remoteness

41. O Lord, make easy by the Chosen One a visit
To wipe away sins and unbind fetters

42. And show kindness to this lowly servant with a glance
For to Your servants You've always been Watchful
