1. If only this whiteness of the temples would last,
The signs of guidance in the garb of old age are few.

2. Old yet one creates at that age
The comfort of company while still unsure,

3. Unsure, when asked: "Do you recall the past,
And the pact by both sides being good?

4. Good - and the counting is like an amazed lover's
Bracelet for his lover, and the counting is strange.

5. Strange - and how many hearts has her nightfall,
Made sick or it could be a remedy."

6. A remedy - but for the lover the beloved is the remedy
The one who loves calls him but he does not answer.

7. Answer - if he turns aside with the response of one who ignores me
Then my heart bleeds for my eyes with tears.

8. Tears - he related a full moon but his heart
Used to boil with blood and blood is pouring.

9. Pouring - he challenged the one with pottery with his horses
Is Ali! How can the successor can be checked?

10. Checked - he matches him if the fighting intensifies
And the arrow of destruction goes wherever it will hit

11. Hit - from among the brave their souls
That defy the doubts of death while they fail.

12. Fail - But when Haydar turned ferocious
The wood against the brave became a cross.

13. A cross - that destroyed Amr and Marhab
And that is a vast method in battle.

14. Vast - in Ali’s grip and narrow
If other than the successor attempts he fails.

15. Fails - And repulsion did not bite against its fang
And if it bites then that would be a drawback.

16. Drawback - And even if his enemies are an army elite
And each mighty in battle is a loser.

17. Disappears - the striking of his sword
To where he does not find the beloved, beloved.

18. The dearest - to my heart is the Shia path, it
For all pure parentage has a share.

19. A share - bestowed upon them by angels amongst themselves
And the adversary there is defeated, deprived.

20. Deprived - Salim for hell, prepared
When the day of judgement becomes harsh.

21. Harsh - upon the illegitimate but its branch
Upon the adhering Shia is good.

22. Good - And the illegitimate’s wood when withered
So for their bodies will be flaming flames.

23. Flames - with my heart when Karbala I recall
So perishing me after weeping, weeping.

24. Weeping - when said al-Husayn and his killing
Increases and in my sorrowful heart, desolation.

25. Beloved - I see incumbent after the Sayyids*
Left corpses and all are strangers.

26. Strangers - in the land of Tuwa their women were taken captive
Zaynab and Layla and intention serious.

27. Serious - but time will pass
And God’s victory will come nigh.

28. Near - as the kinsfolk in Wilaya** to Ali
Through it whenever sins diminish I lament.

29. Lament - and my praise in it covered the earth
Devotional poems opponents will negate.

30. Negate - the men of rubbish when I suppressed them
As if over them I am “where was I a watcher?”

31. Watcher - and my sword and my revenge in my words
Two watchers, listening and answering.

32. Answering - so O Kufan! Chant melodiously.
If only this whiteness of the temples would last.
