رَضِينَا بِقسمِ اللهِ إذْ كَانَ قِسْمَنَا

عَلِي وأَبْنَاءُ النَّبِيّ مُحَمَّدِ

We accept the judgement of Allah, since it was our destiny

Ali and the Prophet Muhammad's sons

وَقُلْنَا لَهُ أهْلاً وَسَهْلاً وَمَرْحَبَاً

نُقَبِّلْ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ هَوَى وَتَوددِ

We bid him welcome and greetings

We kiss his hands out of love and affection

فَمُرْنَا بِمَا تَرْضَى نُجِبْكَ إلى الرضَا

بِصُمّ العَوَالِي والصَّفِيحِ المُهَنَّدِ

So command us with what satisfies you, we will obey happily

With the clashing of swords and spears

وتَسْوِيدِ مَنْ سَوَّدْتَ غَيرَ مُدَافَعٍ

وَإنْ كانَ منْ سَوَّدْتَ غَيْرَ مُسَوَّدِ

And the darkening of those you made dark, without objection

Even if those darkened were not meant to be darkened

فإنْ نِلتَ مَا تَهْوَى فَذَاكَ نُرِيدُهُ

وإنْ تُخْطِ مَا تَهْوَى فَغَيْرُ تَعَمُّدِ

If you obtain what you desire, that is what we want

And if you miss what you desire, it was not intentional
