1. You are to Mahmoud like the family of Muhammad,
Alike in deeds and names,

2. Abu Bakr is succeeded in his virtues,
Umar is praised for his years and glory,

3. Followed by Uthman, hoped for the highest place,
And Ali, expected during hardships,

4. Al-Hasan, glorified, accepted their glory,
As they were benevolent and generous,

5. For the glory of the faith his brothers branched out,
Below the world in glory and sublimity,

6. From an open-handed predecessor and a sun that gives him nobility,
Honor and a bright full moon and splendor,

7. The lamp of guidance drew clouds of favors,
The lion of wars, the lamps of turmoil.
