على آلِ الرسولِ وأقربيه

سلامٌ كلّما سَجعَ الحَمامُ

Peace be upon the Prophet's family and kin

Whenever the doves coo their lament

أليسوا في السماءِ همُ نجومٌ

وهم أعلامُ عزٍّ لا يُرامُ

Are they not stars in the sky?

They are flags of glory none can subdue

فيا مَن قد تَحيَّر في ضَلالٍ

أميرُ المؤمنينَ هو الإمامُ

So you who are lost in misguidance

The Commander of the Faithful is your imam

رسولُ الله يوم غدير خُمٍّ

أنافَ به وقد حَضَر الأنامُ

Allah's Messenger on the day of Ghadir Khumm

Presented him while people were attending

وثاني أمرهِ الحسنُ المُرَجَّى

له بيتُ المشاعرِ والمَقامُ

Second in succession is al-Hasan, the Chosen

To him belongs Mash'ar's house and chamber

وثالِثُه الحسينُ فليس يَخفى

سَنا بدرٍ إذا اختلطَ الظَّلامُ

Third is al-Husayn, this is no secret

Like a full moon when darkness mixes

ورابِعهمْ عليٌّ ذو المساعي

به للدينِ والدّنيا قِوامُ

Fourth is 'Ali, of great endeavor

Through him the religion and world stand

وخامِسُهمْ محمدٌ ارتضاه

له في المأثُراتِ إذاً مَقامُ

Fifth is Muhammad whom he approved

His feats, when told, are his station

وجعفرُ سادسِ النجباء بدرٌ

بِبهجتِهِ زَها البدرُ التَّمامُ

Sixth, Ja'far, is a full moon of the eminent

By his beam the full moon shines brightest

وموسى سابعٌ وله مَقام

تَقاصرَ عن أدانيهِ الكِرامُ

Seventh is Musa, whose station

The nearness of the generous cannot approach

علىٌّ ثامنٌ والقبرُ منهُ

بأرضِ الطّوسِ إن قَحَطوا رِهامُ

'Ali is the eighth, and his tomb

Is in Tus if dried are its rains

وتاسِعهم طريدُ بني البَغايا

محمدٌ الزكيُّ له حُسامُ

Ninth is their outcast, Muhammad the Pure

For him are swords and steeds

وعاشِرُهم عليّ وهو حِصْنٌ

يَحِنُّ لِفَقْدهِ البلدُ الحَرامُ

Tenth is 'Ali, a fortress

For whose loss the Sacred House yearns

وحادي العَشْرِ مصابحُ المعالي

منيرُ الضَوْءِ الحسنُ الهُمامُ

Eleventh are the beacons of glory

The luminous, magnificent, gallant Hasan

وثاني العَشْر حانَ له قيامٌ

محمدٌ الزكيُّ به اعتِصامُ

Twelfth arises; his standing is ready

Muhammad the Pure, in him take hold

سيظهرُ عاجِلاً نُوراً خَفيّاً

وينساقُ الأمورَ به انتظامُ

Soon he will reveal a concealed light

Matters will flow straight by his means

أولئك في الجنانِ بهم مَساغي

وجيرتَي الخوامسُ والسَّلامُ

They in the Gardens have soothing drinks

While my neighbors are the fifth and peace
