1. O guide of the caravan, come O guide
There is no valley like Al-Taf for me

2. Let my yearning for Al-Taf make you
Share with me my usual yearning

3. By God, the land of Al-Taf, it is a land
The beloved land where the guide is worshipped

4. A land that confuses the eyes in its ruins
No matter how it appears, it radiates light

5. Al-Taf is alive and its people are alive
With a breeze of life or absence

6. It sees its lights decorated
Above the decorations of meadows

7. Its pride is in loving Al-Mustafa and his family
Over the enemies and the envious

8. My people, from them is Ali and his sons
My fathers and grandfathers

9. They are the exalted ones, unmatched in their pride
And far from equals

10. O tear, make me happy and be fair to me
O tear, if you fall short in making me happy

11. I will not forget, I will not forget Al-Husayn and his family
Who sold him, corrupting righteousness

12. When they saw him unsheathe his sword
And bare the whites of the swords from their sheaths

13. Disputing with them his father's inheritance, saying
"Is not a father's inheritance for his sons?"

14. I am Al-Husayn son of Ali, the lion
Who rises above the lions

15. But they pretended to believe him and showed
A resolute intent for malice

16. So he parted from life ransoming us, and is there
One who tastes the cup of death ever satisfied?

17. He did not prepare provisions except water, so they
Did not even provide him some provisions

18. I water the soil with the blood of the son of Ali
What blood! And the son of Ali is preventing

19. They protected the delicate ones, the Prophet's daughters
In a kingdom or absent, children of the absent

20. A gang with callous hearts rules over their anguish
With a gang of callous hearts

21. So our days have become bereavements
While they were like weddings and holidays
