Egypt and Iraq have known

That Ali is their noble protector

أَكرَمُ مَن شُدَّ بِهِ نِطاقٌ

إِنَّ الأُلَى جاوَركَ لا أَفاقُوا

إِلى الَّتي لَيسَ لَها عِراقُ

إِلى الَّتي لَيسَ لَها عِراقُ

You led toward the path of guidance, while they led

You were led to the path of guidance, while they were led

toward that which has no foundation,

To that which has no Iraq

في ملَّةٍ عادتُها النِفاقُ

في ملَّةٍ عادتُها النِفاقُ

in a creed whose custom is hypocrisy.

In a religion whose way is hypocrisy
