1. You have prolonged the blame and criticism
Out of love for the just Imam, the upright master
١. قد أطلتم في العذلِ والتنقيدِ
بِهوى السيّدِ الإمامِ السّديدِ
2. The day when the Prophet stood in the shade of Dhu-l Hulayfa
While creation slumbered in the cradle of carelessness
٢. يوم قامَ النبيُّ في ظلّ دَوْحٍ
والورى في وديقةٍ صَيخودِ
3. Raising his hand with his right hand
Proclaiming loudly his name with an extended voice
٣. رافعاً كفّه بيُمنى يديه
بايحاً باسمه بصوتٍ مديدِ
4. "O you who have faith! This is my brother
My minister, my heir, and my confidant
٤. أيّها المسلمون هذا خَليلي
ووَزيري ووارثي وعقيدي
5. And the son of my uncle, so whoever I am his master
This is his master, so be true to my covenant"
٥. وابنُ عمّي إلاّ فمن كنت مولا
هُ فهذا مَولاه فارعَوا عُهودي
6. And Ali is to me in the position of Aaron
The son of Imran to his brother full of love
٦. وعليٌّ منٍّي بمنزلِ هارونَ
بنِ عمرانَ من أخيهِ الوَدودِ
