فقالَ له قد كان عيسى بنُ مريمٍ

بزعمك يُحيي كلَّ مَيْتٍ ومُقْبَرِ

Jesus son of Mary, as you claim

Could revive every corpse and grave

فماذا الذي أُعطيتَ قال محمدٍ

لمثلِ الذي أُعطيه إنْ شئتَ فانظِرِ

So what is it that was given to you, Muhammad asked

Like what was given to him, if you wish then look

إلى مثلِ ما أعطي فقالوا لكفرِهم

إلا أرِنا ما قلتَ غيرَ مُعذَّرِ

At the like of what I was given, so they said in their disbelief

Show us what you say, no more excuses

فقال رسولُ الله قمْ لوصيِّه

فقامَ وقِدماً كانَ غيرَ مُقَصِّرِ

So the Messenger of Allah said, arise for his successor

So he stood though his legs were not weak

وردّاه بالمِنجابِ والله خَصّه

وقال اتبعوهُ بالدعاء المبرَّرِ

And he called him with the honoured prayer, and Allah granted him distinction

And said follow him with the blessed prayer

فلمّا أتى ظَهرَ البقيعِ دعا بهِ

فَرَجَّت قُبورٌ بالوَرى لم تُغَيَّرِ

So when he came to the Baqee graveyard, he called upon it

And the tombs of the land that were unchanged split open

فقالوا له يا وارثَ العلم أعفِنا

ومُنَّ علينا بالرّضى منك واغفِرِ

So they said to him, O heir of knowledge forgive us

And favour us with your pleasure and forgive
