1. The light and sword of the Commander of the Faithful,
Upon him abundant prayers and peace,

2. Exalted is the honor of the religion, the minister who has
In every pride a place and abode,

3. Like arrows that were thrown in the battle with skill
So the earth became good and the clouds good,

4. He planted the garden of advice in the soil of Hijaz,
Peerless, buzzing with bees and doves,

5. He watered its plant and the plant thrives on his watering,
While you with both your hands are a sword,

6. You rose to the duties of the commands sleepless
To execute them while the devoted ones slept,

7. He is the repeated hero in ferocity and generosity,
Knowledgeable in planting righteous deeds, an imam.
