1. When you recall the lament of a brother in trust
Remember your brother Abu Bakr and what he did
١. إِذا تَذَكَّرتَ شَجواً مِن أَخي ثِقَةٍ
فَاِذكُر أَخاكَ أَبا بَكرٍ بِما فَعَلا
2. The best of mankind, most pious and just
Except the Prophet, fulfilling what he shouldered
٢. خَيرَ البَرِيَّةِ أَتقاها وَأَعدَلَها
إِلّا النَبِيَّ وَأَوفاها بِما حَمَلا
3. And the second, the truthful whose place is praised
First of the people to believe the messengers
٣. وَالثانِيَ الصادِقَ المَحمودَ مَشهَدُهُ
وَأَوَّلَ الناسِ مِنهُم صَدَّقَ الرُسُلا
4. Second of two in the secluded cave, when
The enemy roamed as they climbed the mountain
٤. وَثانِيَ اِثنَينِ في الغارِ المُنيفِ وَقَد
طافَ العَدُوُّ بِهِ إِذ صَعَّدَ الجَبَلا
5. He lived praiseworthy, following God's command
With the guidance of his predecessor before he passed
٥. عاشَ حَميداً لِأَمرِ اللَهِ مُتَّبِعاً
بِهَديِ صاحِبِهِ الماضي وَما اِنتَقَلا
6. And it was known that none among mankind
Loved the Messenger of God as he did
٦. وَكانَ حِبَّ رَسولِ اللَهِ قَد عَلِموا
مِنَ البَرِيَّةِ لَم يَعدِل بِهِ رَجُلا
