1. Why does Alwa not answer my call
Even though I bid farewell to the prime of my youth?

2. Do you think the rewards of youth are obtained through my determination?
The days of dyeing have passed and I do not know my dye

3. Have you not seen that the world obeys my commands
And fate sticks to however I want its side?

4. Life is still plentiful and the theaters still crowded
And worries have sworn not to leave my door

5. The loyalty of Muhammad's family chose me
And justice and monotheism have been blessed through me

6. After the demands of the seeker were fulfilled
The door of guidance to the right path was opened

7. I returned to the land of Isfahan and its ignorance
With firm principles and eloquent speech

8. Constraint and analogy have persisted there
And religion is the doctrine of idolators

9. I held them back for a time and almost finished them
Except the riffraff among the tail-carriers

10. And I narrated from the excellence of the Prophet and his family
What dispels all doubts

11. And I mentioned what the Prophet was distinguished with
Of the pride of deeds and ancestry

12. Leave those whose sickness was known through
Listening to my sermon is their cure

13. O Muhammad’s family, you are my refuge
Through which I protected my soul from afflictions

14. I was blessed with worldly joys and loyal to you
And so it will always be with good fortune

15. You are God's lanterns in the darkness of night
And His unsheathed sword in every battle

16. And His bright stars that guide creation
And His lions if the beasts of the forest are absent

17. No religion is hoped for without love of you
Can rain be expected without clouds?

18. You are God's right hand in His lands
If the idolators recognize, their answer will return

19. They left wine and complained of handcuffs from exhaustion
And falsely blamed it on a mirage

20. They did not know that passions pursue whoever
Abandons doctrine, pride of ancestry

21. They did not know that the Trustee is the one who
Vanquished fierce warriors every victorious day

22. They did not know the Trustee is the one
To whom the Prophet showed brotherly affection

23. They did not know the Trustee is the one
Who preceded everyone in the Way and Scripture

24. They did not know the Trustee is the one
Who did not accept idols and statues

25. They did not know the Trustee is the one
Who gave alms while bowing in prayer

26. They did not know the Trustee is the one
To whom Ghadeer ruled over the Companions

27. They did not know the Trustee is the one
Who took terrible vengeance on the polytheists

28. They did not know the Trustee is the one
Who at Badr hunted every intended prey

29. They did not know the Trustee is the one
Who abandoned misguidance, restrained from violence

30. Why should I recount the virtues of the ocean
That infinitely surpasses all counts?

31. But I casually mention some of what
I state, hoping it will increase my reward

32. And I want to silence the hostility of the Haters
Whenever they hear my words, the sound of the rebab

33. Is it not sweet when a Shia recites his mention
But it is like a slap in the face of the Haters

34. In praise like the days of youth I made them
My doctrine, and they are the pillars of ethics

35. My love for the Commander of the Faithful is a creed
Through which my innermost thoughts and clothes appeared

36. It led the insights I actualized
To the work of the confident conscience

37. Neither conformity nor affection misguided me
To follow the exemplars and the accounts

38. O daughter of Muhammad, without you
None would be matched to a human for eternities

39. O root of Ahmad's family, without you
Ahmad would not have descendants

40. You were blessed with the two grandsons, the best
Of births, incorporated in the folds of lineage

41. The Prophet was the city of knowledge
Containing all perfection, and you were its greatest gate

42. The sun was restored to you, a merit
That dazzled, so it was not veiled by a cloak

43. I do not speak except what the Haters themselves narrated
Of your virtue, which reveals ancestry

44. You were betrayed, O grandson of the Prophet
With such marvels that came with great wonders

45. You were promised then betrayed and the band
Turned back, fleeing the battle in defeat

46. You were warred against, then killed, then cursed, O
May they be distantly damned for eternity!
