1. Say to the one who composed existence in cycles
Why did you not take witnesses over yourself in it
١. قل للذي نظم الوجودَ عقوداً
هلا اتخذت عليك فيه شُهودا
2. Just rulers from the universes and its masters
The chosen ones, landmarks and boundaries
٢. عدلاً من الأكوان من ساداته
المصطفين معالماً وحدودا
3. Indeed, those who pledge allegiance to you
Are pledging allegiance to the absent, vanished one
٣. إنَّ الذين يبايعونك إنهم
ليبايعون الحاضر المفقودا
4. So when a time passes, it passes in its passing
Renew the pledge for the Imam, contracts
٤. فإذا مضى زمن مضى لمروره
عقد فجدّد للإمام عقودا
5. Bear witness for him with the limbs of his essence
And suffice is the Lord of gifts as witness
٥. اشهد عليه بها جوارح ذاته
وكفى بربِّ الوارداتِ شهودا
6. Indeed, the Imam is the one for whom the deaf mountains
Testified that he is worshipped
٦. إنَّ الإمام هو الذي شهدت له
صُمّ الجبال بكونه معبودا
