1. حُبُّ الوَصِيِّ مَبَرَّةٌ وَصِلَهْ

    وَطَهَارَةٌ بِالأَصْلِ مُكْتَفَلَهْ

    Love of the Legatee is righteousness and a bond,

    And purity guaranteed by lineage.

  2. وَالنَّاسُ عَالِمُهُمْ يَدِيْنُ بِهِ

    حُبَّاً وَيَجْهَلُ حَقَّهُ الجَهَلَهْ

    And the learned among the people profess faith in him

    Out of love, while the ignorant do not recognize his due.

  3. وَنَرَى التَّشَيُّعَ فِي سَرَاتِهِمُ

    وَالنَّصْبَ فِي الأرْذَالِ وَالسِّفْلَهْ

    And we see Shiʿite allegiance among their noblest,

    And hostility to him among the vile and lowly.
