1. Tell me about Ali, tell me of him
And dissuade me of so-and-so and so-and-so

2. And look, did you ever see in your lives
Anyone other than him as the Chosen One's successor?

3. How can I hide my love for him when he is the one
Whom the Exalted Creator paired with the Quran?

4. Indeed my religion and belief is loving him
He saved me on the Day of Gathering and granted my wishes

5. O questioner, ignorant of me
I am the one whose status all people know

6. By God, if I had no pride
Other than my love for Ali, that would suffice me

7. Despite my being at the pinnacle of glory
All fall short of its heights in estimation

8. I am the one whose uncles are Hashim's
Tucked into a nook on the day of the wager

9. Nobles of Hudhayl bore him
Each lowly one falls short of their pride

10. O People of the Prophet's House, my love to you
Above all people, near or far

11. A people blamed me for praising you
And through it I gained the gardens of Paradise

12. If praising Ali is a denial
Then who is most worthy of the finest poems?

13. I will tend, as long as my life lasts
My love for him, which my parents entrusted me with

14. I will ally my praise of him and of
His family, for as long as my tongue can speak
