يا بائعَ الدينِ بدنياهُ

ليس بهذا أمرَ اللهُ

O seller of religion for worldly gain

This is not what Allah has ordained

فارجعْ إلى الله وألقِ الهوى

إنّ الهوى في النارِ مأواهُ

So return to Allah and cast off desire

For in the Fire is where it will retire

من ين أبغضتَ عليَّ الرضى

وأحمدٌ قد كانَ يَرضاهُ

You have made me hate Ali and his satisfaction

Yet Ahmad had accepted his station

جَهدُكُ أن تسلَبه اليومَ ما

كان رسولُ الله أعطاهُ

You strive to deprive him today of what

The Messenger of God had granted

من ذا الذي أحمدُ من بينِهم

يومَ غديرِ الخُمِّ ناداهُ

Who was it that Ahmad, from among them

On the day of Ghadeer Khumm had summoned

أقامه من بينِ أصحابِهِ

وهم حَوالَيه فسمّاهُ

He established him among his companions

While gathered all around and named him

هذا عليٌّ بنُ أبي طالبٍ

مولىً لِمن قد كنتُ مولاهُ

This is Ali son of Abu Talib

The master of whom I was his master

فوالِ من ولاهُ يا ذا العُلى

وعادِ من قد كان عاداهُ

By the Lord of the Lofty Place who installed him

And be hostile to those who were his enemies

رضيتُ بالرحمن ربّاً وبا

لإسلام ديناً أتوخّاهُ

I was pleased with the Merciful as my Lord

And with Islam as the religion I forward

وبالنبيِّ المصطفى هادياً

وكلُّ ما قالَ قبلناهُ

With the Chosen Prophet as my guide

And all that he said we abide

وليُّنا بعد نبيٍّ الهدى

عليٌّ القائمُ وابناهُ

The guardian after the Prophet, the guiding one

Is Ali, the riser and his two sons

والعالمُ الصامتُ والناطقُ ال

باقرُ عِلماً كان أخفاهُ

The silent scholar, the speaking one who

Concealed knowledge, was Baqir, it's true

وجعفرُ المخبرُ عن جدِّهِ

بأوّلِ العلمِ وأُخراهُ

And Ja'far the informant of his grandfather's

First and last wisdom's order

ثم ابنُه موسى ومن بعدِهِ

وارثُه علمَ وصاياهُ

Then his son Musa and after him the heir

To his knowledge and his affairs
