1. The heir of the sword, the turban, and the lofty banner
Folded, and the shackles,

2. Inherited from him, and the eloquence that he had
And the war against which he met the day of delegations,

3. It was enough for him that he preceded people
By virtue of prayer and monotheism,

4. Arguments before them, perfect sevenths
By bowing or prostrating.

5. It was enough for him with a thousand thousand hadiths
Which he memorized from a glorious revelation,

6. He memorized them in a council with their meanings,
Their causes and the time of limits.

7. It was from his words, do not relapse
After my death in rejection and obstinacy,

8. Do not start war between yourselves and become
In two parties, a leader and led,

9. And if you are tried and deviated
In confusing blindness and hesitation,

10. You will see me, and in my hand the double-edged sword,
And Ali in a regiment like lions.

11. Under him my she-camel and my armor upon him
And my sword in his grip and my pillar,

12. Above him my banner which the wind makes fly
Upon you on an inauspicious day of annihilation.
