1. أبا حَسنٍ تفديكَ نَفسي وأُسرَتي

    وكُلُّ بطيءٍ في الهُدى ومُسارِعِ

    O Abu Hasan, may my soul and my family ransom you,

    And all who are slow in guidance and all who hasten.

  2. أيذهبُ مدحٌ من مُحِبِّكَ ضائِعاً

    وما المدحُ في جنبِ الإلهِ بضائِعِ

    Does praise from one who loves you go to waste?

    Nor is praise wasted in God's presence.

  3. فأنتَ الذي أعطيتَ إذ كُنتَ راكعاً

    عليٌّ فدتك النفسُ يا خيرَ راكِعِ

    For you are the one who gave when you were bowing.

    Ali, may my soul ransom you, O best of those who bow!

  4. فأنزلَ فيكَ اللَه خيرَ ولاية

    وبينها في محكماتِ الشرائِع

    So God revealed concerning you the finest guardianship,

    And made it clear in the unambiguous provisions of the sacred laws.
