وعليُّ أوَّلَ الناسَ اهتدى

بهُدى اللهِ وصلّى وادَّكرْ

Ali was the first of people to be guided

By the guidance of Allah, praying and remembering

وحّد اللهَ ولم يُشركْ به

وقريشٌ أهل عُودٍ وحَجَرْ

He affirmed the oneness of Allah and did not associate anything with Him

While the Quraysh were people of idols and stone

وعليٌّ خازنُ الوحي الذي

كان مستودَع آياتِ السُّورْ

And Ali was the keeper of the revelation which

Was a repository for the verses of the surahs

مُجبر قال لدينا عددٌ

وجميعٌ من جماهيرِ البَشرْ

Mujabir said we have a number for our religion

And all are from the masses of humanity

قلت ذمَّ اللهُ ربّي جَمعُكمْ

وبه تَنطِق آيات الزُّبُرْ

I say may Allah, my Lord, gather you all

And the verses of the scripture speak through you

من زُها سبعين ألفٍ برّةً

وسِواها في عَذابٍ وسَعَرْ

Of seventy thousand pious souls

And the others in torment and hellfire
