1. He charges with the valor of a hardy knight
Or a runner on the day of high-staked fight

2. Into the warrior's thrusts, well-armed and bright
And strikes the helmeted foe with all his might

3. Yet he is patience exemplified
Making peace with aggressors, far and wide

4. Raising the glorious, battle-scarred guide
With ample provisions and sharpened blades beside

5. An overwhelming flood engulfing evil's tide
With wisdom's harvest and decisions well-plied

6. If he lights a fiery conflict's spark
Or a scandal escapes that leaves its mark

7. He will heal it before it leaves a trace
And when he judges, he rules with grace

8. Ahmed Mukhtar, the greatest Imam's heir
The jewel in the crown of the noble and the fair

9. And honor of the generous creed so rare
