1. I asked my God that the Imam of Guidance may live in bliss
As long as the resolute mother of misfortunes is tied down

2. Protecting the sublime and the glorious is through protecting him
Who steers them between resolve and attainment

3. He quenched the barren lands of good with justice and mercy
Such that their dust turned into meadows

4. Not content with all-encompassing justice, he increased it
With supererogatory good deeds and merits

5. Bitter are the morrows for the unyielding, a wind
That brings misery, along with wisdom, to the obstinate

6. A generous man who sees his wealth like his weapons
Raiding them both like a fighter in a night raid

7. Striking his enemies relentlessly
And spending his money unstintingly

8. His love is reinforced in the noble one of many virtues
And the vast terrains of forbearance and sublime morals

9. The gallant one whose traits are not marred by harshness
Nor is deceit or conspiracy feared from him

10. Nor does his might make him commit abhorrent aggression
When the forbearance of the calm tamed one stills tempestuous seas

11. Rather, his heart is safe from the images of passion
His banner rises from his faith, erected on fortresses

12. The light of sanctity illuminates his prayerful forehead
When darkness extends its hand into terrifying visions

13. People saw in him the noble traits they had seen before
Which became, with the tales of generosity, legacies of early times

14. And so they said the prime of time has returned, and its
Virtues have bloomed from the palm of an impartial,白 one

15. Had they known what his heart secretly harbors
And what forthcoming good he intends inclusively

16. They would have said, we felt some bliss, but behind it
Were billows of a sea that no coast can restrain

17. As if the rightly-guided Imam and his guidance
At daybreak, after the truth prevailed over every falsehood

18. Orientation of morn, gave the lost wanderer in rugged terrain
Guidance towards an easy path, crowded and lively

19. Blessed thus is the ink of a supported, rightly-guided Imam
Shielded by impenetrable coats of mail

20. An Imam whose praise equates in obligation
The conscience of the one who praises and the crowds in the assemblies
