ما كُنتُ أَحسَبُ أَنَّ الأَمرَ مُنصَرِفٌ

عَن هاشِمٍ ثُمَّ مِنها عَن أَبي حَسَنِ

I did not think the matter would turn away

From Hashim, then from Abu Hassan.

أَلَيسَ أَوَّلَ مَن صَلّى لِقِبلَتِكُم

وَأَعلَمَ الناسِ بِالقُرآنِ وَالسَنَنِ

Is he not the first one who prayed towards your direction

And the most knowledgeable of people in the Quran and the Sunnah?

وَأَقرَبَ الناسِ عَهداً بِالنَبِيِّ وَمَن

جِبريلُ عَونٌ لَهُ في الغُسلِ وَالكَفَنِ

The closest of people in lineage to the Prophet, and the one

Whom Jibril helped in washing and shrouding.

ما فيهِ ما فيهِم لا يَمتَرونَ بِهِ

وَلَيسَ في القَومِ ما فيهِ الحَسَنِ

None among them possesses what he possesses.

And there is none among the people who has Al-Hasan’s virtues.

ماذا الَّذي رَدَّهُم عَنهُ فَتَعلَمُهُ

ها إِنَّ ذا غَبَناً مِن أَعظَمِ الغَبَنِ

What is it that has turned them away from him? Know it.

Indeed, this is a tremendous loss.
