ادخل إلى أحبّ الخلقِ كلّهم

حبّاً إليكَ وكان ذاك عليّا

Enter the abode of the most beloved of all creations

With love for you, and that was Ali

لما بدت لأخيه سِحنةُ وجهِه

ودنا فسلَّمَ راضياً مرضِيّا

When the radiance of his face appeared to his brother

And he came near and greeted happily and contently

حيّا ورحّب مَرحباً بأحبِّهم

حُبّاً إلى مَلِك العُلى وإِليَا

He lived and welcomed, a welcome full of love

For the King of Highness and Elijah

أوَ لم يقلْ للمشركينَ وكذّبوا

بالوحيِ واتّخذوا الهُدى سُخريّا

Or did he not say to the polytheists when they denied

The revelation and mocked the guidance

قوموا بأنفُسِنا وأنفسِكم معاً

ونسائِنا وبَنيكمُ وبَنيّا

Arise with ourselves and yourselves together

And our women and your children and my children

نَدعو فنجعلَ لعنةَ الله التي

تَغشى الظلومَ العاندَ المشْنِيّا

Let us invoke and make the curse of Allah befall

The unjust tyrant stubbornly disobedient

نصبَ الكساءَ فكان فيه خمسةٌ

خيرُ البريّةِ كلِّها إنْسِيّا

He raised the cloak and within it were five

The best of all mankind, human
