لعنَ اللهُ والديَّ جميعاً

ثم أصلاهما عَذابَ الجحيمِ

May God curse both my parents,

then consign them both to the torment of Hell.

حَكما غُدوةً كما صلّيا الفجرَ

بلعنِ الوصيِّ بابِ العلومِ

One morning, as they performed the dawn prayer, they decreed

a curse upon the Legatee, the Gate of Knowledge.

لعنا خيرَ من مشى فوقَ ظهرِ

الأرضِ أوطاف مَحرماً بالحَطيمِ

Both cursed the best of all who ever walked upon the face

of the earth, or circled al-Hatim in pilgrim consecration.

كَفرا عند شتمِ آل رسولِ الله

نسلَ المهذَّبِ المَعصومِ

Both fell into unbelief when they reviled the Family of God’s Messenger,

the progeny of the purified, the sinless one,

والوصيَّ الذي به تَثبت الأرضُ

ولولاه دُكدكت كالرَّميمِ

and the Legatee through whom the earth stands firm—

but for him, it would be crushed like crumbling remains—

وكذا آله أولو العلمِ والفهمِ

هداةٌ إلى الصِراط القويمِ

and likewise his family, possessors of knowledge and understanding,

guides unto the straight path,

خلفاءُ الإله في الخلقِ بالعدلِ

وبالقِسط عندَ ظُلمِ الظَلومِ

God’s vicegerents among creation, through justice

and equity against the oppression of the arch-oppressor.

صلواتُ الإله تَترى عليهم

مُقرناتٌ بالرَّحْبِ والتَسْلِيمِ

May God’s blessings follow one another upon them,

joined with gracious welcome and salutation.
