1. O guide of people in their journey
And in the fearful abode of his awe

2. Do not fear my betrayal or defiance
For each man returns to his worth

3. You have uncovered a pasture after it was obscured
A stick, while you were the healer of its pain

4. You are not the wise and grand when angry
Nor the deceived in his lineage

5. And sometimes the warner saddens me, so I acted
Deaf, despairing the doubts of the blind

6. I have proof against suspicions, and only
Seek proof from its pure origin

7. If you intend destruction with it, then you don’t
Know the head of destruction from its tail

8. And if calamities defend you, then you haven’t
Defended from the like of its afflictions

9. Your sword - its strikes do not bend
It shakes from its wetness, even when in its scabbard

10. The bride flees to it for refuge
So the passionate does not tire of its wonder

11. He is truthful in his religion and promise
Yes, and the clouds grant favor upon his lies

12. To God belongs what stirs in his conscience
Of pearls that do not sleep from seeking Him

13. They come out of his mouth as narration
As lamp light comes out from its flame

14. The lies of kings - pretentiousness is upon it
You recognize it from his poetry and sermons

15. He stands with the people the day you came to them
And visitors do not fail in their pursuit

16. Lasting in lineage, settlement, and
Fluency in Persian and in Arabic

17. If faced with the great calamity, it would not
Ruin his civilization or leave it in ruins

18. He does not worship money when he gathers it
Nor prays to the house from his own loins

19. A flirtatious one - women gather around him
Taking from his seriousness and his playfulness

20. People cram every street
With his door, well-mannered in his etiquette

21. He matured, and in his youth he was
Valiant - cowardice urinates from his anger

22. Until the pearls circulated for him
And the transmitters exaggerated his lineage

23. The Imam Mahdi ended his life
From another head that was at its edge

24. So praise be to God - I do not aid
Frivolity, nor conclude with depression
