1. قُبِيحٌ لا يُماثِلُهُ قَبِيحٌ

    لَعَمْرُ أبيكَ دِينُ الرَّافِضينا

    Hideous—no hideous thing can match it—

    by your father's life, is the religion of the Rafidis.

  2. أَذَاعُوا في عَليٍّ كُلَّ نكْرٍ

    وأَخْفَوْا من فَضائِلِهِ الْيَقِينا

    They spread every outrageous thing about Ali,

    And concealed what was certain among his virtues.

  3. وسَبُّوا لاَرُعُوا أصْحابَ طَهَ

    وَعادَوا مَنْ عَدَاهُمْ أجْمَعِينا

    And reviled—may they go unprotected—the companions of Taha,

    And were hostile to everyone but themselves.

  4. وَقَالُوا دِينُهُمْ دِينٌ قَوِيمٌ

    أَلا لَعَنَ الإِلَهُ الكاذِبِينا

    And said their religion was an upright religion.

    Lo, may God curse the liars!
