وليي علي حيث كنت وليه

ومخلصه بل عبد عبد لعبده

My allegiance is to Ali wherever he may be

And his savior, rather the servant of his servant

لعمرك قلبي مغرم بمحبتي

له طول عمري ثم بعد لولده

By your life, my heart is infatuated with my love for him

All my life and even after for his son

وهم مهجتي هم منيتي هم ذخيرتي

وقلبي بحبيهم مصيب لرشده

They are my innermost thoughts, my wishes, my provisions

And my heart is guided by my love for them

وكل كبير منهم شمس منبر

وكل صغير منهم شمس مهده

Every elder among them is a shining sun

And every young one among them is the sun of his cradle

وكل كمي منهم ليث حربه

وكل كريم منهم غيث وهده

And every brave one among them is a lion of war

And every generous one among them is rain and guidance

بذلت له جهدي بمدح مهذب

بليغ ومثلي حسبه بذل جهده

I have exerted my effort in praising him eloquently

And one like me, his effort is enough for praising his glory

وكلفت فكري حذف حرف مقدم

على كل حرف عند مدحي لمجده

And I tasked my mind to put every letter in its proper place

When praising his glory, before every other letter
