وقامَ محمد بغديرِ خُمّ

فنادى معِلناً صوتاً نَديّا

Muhammad stood at Ghadir Khumm

And called out in a resonant voice

لمن وافاه من عَرَب وعُجْمٍ

وحَفُّوا حولَ دوحتِه حَنِيّا

To all who came, Arab or non-Arab

And they gathered humbly around his tent

ألا مَنْ كنتُ مولاه فهذا

له مولى وان به حَفياً

"Know that whoever takes me as his master

Ali here is now his master too

إلهي عادِ من عادى عليّاً

وكن لوليِّه مولىًُ وليّا

Protect him sincerely as his faithful guardian"

One of them objected in secret

فقالَ مخالفٌ منهم عُتُلّ

لأولاهم به قولاً خَفِيّا

"By your father's life, if he could

After you he would make this man a prophet too"

لعمرُ أبيكَ لو يستطيع هذا

لصيَّر بعدهُ هذا نبيَّا

But we oppose their evil counsel

And do not wish for strife or enmity

فنحن بسوء رأيهما نُعادي

بني فُعَلٍ ولا نَهوى عَدِيّا

The trustee of Muhammad, his sons' father

His heir, his steadfast, loyal knight

وصيَّ محمدٍ وأبا بنيه

ووارثَه وفارسَه الوفيّا

Granted guidance and wisdom as a child

As John was given while still a boy

وقد أوتي الهُدى والحُكمَ طِفلاً

كَيَحينى يومَ أوتيه صَبِيّا

Did he not receive guidance while people were confused?

And profess God's oneness, the Most High?

ألم يؤتَ الهُدى والناسُ حَيرى

فوحَّد ربَّه الأحدَ العَليّا

He prayed towards Jerusalem years

While it was banned, enduring patiently

وصلّى ثانياً في حال خوفٍ

سنينَ تحرَّمت سبعاً أسيّا

The Book bears witness to him--do not reject

Its signs, deaf and blind

له شَهِدَ الكتابُ فلا تَخِرّوا

على آياته صُمّاً عُميّا

Purified from all impurity by him

And named the immaculate, faithful one

بتطهيرٍ أُميطَ الرِّجسُ عنه

وسُمي مؤمناً فيه زَكيّا
