أَقولُ أَميرَ المُؤمِنينَ عَصَمتَنا

بِبِشرٍ مِن الدَهرِ الكَثيرِ الزلازِلِ

I say the Commander of the Faithful protected us

With good tidings in an age of much instability

وَأطفأتَ عَنّا نارَ كُلِّ مُنافِقٍ

بِأَبيضَ بُهلولٍ طَويلِ الحَمائِلِ

And you extinguished for us the fire of every hypocrite

With a white stallion, long of robes

نَمَتهُ قُرومٌ مِن أَميةَ لِلعُلى

إِذا اِفتَخَرَ الأَقوامُ وَسطَ المَحافِلِ

It grew under the care of the Bani Umayyah for supremacy

When people boast amidst gatherings

هُوَ القائِدُ المَيمونُ وَالعِصمَةُ الَّتي

أَتى حَقُّها فينا عَلى كُلِّ باطِلِ

He is the auspicious leader and the infallibility

Whose truth in us came over every falsehood

أَقامَ لَنا الدينَ القَويمَ بحلمِهِ

وَرأيٍ لَهُ فَضلٌ عَلى كُلِّ قائِلِ

He established for us the upright religion with his patience

And an opinion whose merit surpasses that of every speaker

أَخوك أَميرَ المُؤمِنين وَمَن بِهِ

نُجادُ وَنُسقى صَوبَ أَسحمَ هاطِلِ

Your brother, Commander of the Faithful, and through him

We are given drink and irrigation from a pouring cloud

إِذا ما سَألنا رفدَهُ هطلت لَنا

سَحابَةُ كفَّيهِ بجَودٍ وَوابِلِ

When we ask for his support, the palms of his hands pour upon us

A rain cloud with generosity and downpour

حَليمٌ عَلى الجُهّالِ مِنّا وَرَحمَةٌ

عَلى كُلِّ حافٍ مِن مَعَدِ وَناعِلِ

Clement towards the ignorant among us and a mercy

Upon all riding camels and working beasts
