ليهن المرتضى إن نال أعلى

ليهن المرتضى إن نال أعلى

مقام لم ينله الفرقدان

مقام لم ينله الفرقدان

May al-Murtada rejoice, if he has attained the highest

The Chosen One, if he attained the highest

station, which the two Farqad stars have never reached.

Station not reached by others,

أناخ من الجنان غداة ألقى

أناخ من الجنان غداة ألقى

عصاه فيه في أعلى مكان

عصاه فيه في أعلى مكان

He alighted in Paradise on the morning he laid down

Anchored from the gardens the morning after he cast

his staff there, in the highest place.

His staff in it in the highest place,

وعند النزع شاهد ما أعد

وعند النزع شاهد ما أعد

الإله له مشاهدة العيان

الإله له مشاهدة العيان

And at death's throes he beheld what had been prepared

And at death witnessed what God had prepared

by God for him, seeing it with his own eyes.

For him, a vision face to face,

وبشر بالجنان فقلت أرخ

وبشر بالجنان فقلت أرخ

لقد أوتيت سؤلك بالجنان

لقد أوتيت سؤلك بالجنان

And he was given glad tidings of Paradise, so I said: "Record the date:

And was promised Paradise, so I said: Grant

You have indeed been granted your wish in Paradise."

Indeed you have been given your request for Paradise.
