خَفْ يا محمدُ فالقَ الأَصباحِ

وأزِلْ فسادَ الدينِ بالإِصلاح

Tread softly, O Muhammad, for dawn has arrived,

And remove the corruption of religion through reform.

أَتَسُبُّ صِنوَ محمدٍ ووصيَّه

تَرجو بذاك الفوزَ بالإنجاحِ

Do you revile the breastplate of Muhammad and his successor,

Hoping for success through this? Never!

هيهاتَ قد بَعُدا عليك وقرَّبا

منكَ العذابَ وقابضَ الأرواحِ

Far from you they drew near and brought you closer

To torment and the seizure of souls.

أوصى النبيُّ له بخيرِ وصيّةٍ

ويومَ الغدير بأبينِ الإفصاحِ

The Prophet enjoined the best covenant upon him

On the day of Ghadir with the clearest proclamation:

من كنتُ مولاهُ فهذا فاعلموا

مولاهُ قولُ إشاعةٍ وصرُاحِ

"For whoever I am his master, this one, know,

Is his master," an open and direct word.

قاضي الديونِ ومرشدٌ لكمُ كما

قد كنتُ أُرشَدُ من هُدًى وفَلاحِ

The settler of debts and your guide just as

I used to guide with guidance and success.

أغويتَ أمّي وهي جِدُّ ضعيفةٍ

فَجَرَتْ بقاعِ الغَيِّ جَريَ جِماحِ

You have misled my mother, though she is the root of the weak,

So she flowed into the lands of misguidance like a swooping eagle

بالشتم للَعلَمِ الإمامِ ومَن له

إرثُ النبيِّ بأوكَدِ الإيضاحِ

With insult upon the flag of the Imam and the one for whom

Is the inheritance of the Prophet in the firmest evidence.

إنّي أخافُ عليكما سُخطَ الذي

أرسى الجبالَ بسببٍ صَحصاحِ

I fear for you two the wrath of the One

Who made firm the mountains with mere reverberation.

أبويّ فاتقيا الإله وأذعِنا

للحقِّ تَعتَصِما بحبلِ نَجاحِ

My parents, fear God and submit

To the truth, adhering to the rope of salvation.
