  1. لذلك ما اختاره رَبُه

    لخيرِ الأنامِ وصيّاً ظَهيرا

    So what his Lord chose

    As the best of people, as an advisor and supporter

  2. فقام بِخُمٍّ بحيثُ الغديرُ

    وحطَّ الرِّحالَ وعافَ المَسيرا

    He stood at Khumm where al-Ghadir was

    And lowered the saddles and rested from the journey

  3. وقُمّ له الدوحَ ثم ارتقى

    على مِنبرٍ كان رحلاً وَكورا

    And they set up the basin for him, then he climbed

    Upon a pulpit that was once a camel saddle

  4. ونادى ضحىً باجتماعِ الحجيجِ

    فجاؤوا إليه صغيراً كبيرا

    And called out in the morning to the gathering of pilgrims

    So they came to him, young and old

  5. فقال وفي كفّه حيدرٌ

    يُليح إليه مُبيناً مُشيرا

    Then he said, and in his hand was Haydar

    Appealing to him, explaining and gesturing

  6. ألا إنّ من أنا مولىً له

    فمولاهُ هذا قضاً لن يَحورا

    “Lo, whoever I am his master

    Then this master of his is decided, it will not change

  7. فهل أنا بلَّغتُ قالوا نعم

    فقال اشهدوا غُيَّباً أو حُضورا

    Did I convey?” They said “Yes”

    So he said “Witness, absent or present

  8. يُبلّغُ حاضرُكم غائباً

    وأُشهِدُ رَبّي السميعَ البَصيرا

    The present among you conveys to the absent

    And I bear witness to my Lord, the All-Hearing, All-Seeing”

  9. فقوموا بأمر مليكِ السما

    يُبايعْه كلٌّ عليه أميرا

    So stand for the order of the King of the heavens

    And pledge allegiance to him, each one taking him as leader

  10. فقاموا لِبَيْعَتِه صافقين

    أكفّاً فأوجس منهم نَكيرا

    So they stood to pledge allegiance to him, clasping

    Hands. So he sensed reluctance among them

  11. فقال إلهيّ والِ الوليَّ

    وعادِ العدوُّ له والكفورا

    Then he said “My God, and Protector of the Guardian

    And be the enemy, for him, of the ungrateful

  12. وكن خاذِلاً للأولى يخذلون

    وكن للأولى يَنصرون نَصيرا

    And forsake those who forsake him, they are forsaken

    And be for those who support him a victorious supporter”

  13. فكيف ترى دعوةَ المصطفى

    مُجاباً بها أم هباءً نثيرا

    So how do you see the prayer of Al-Mustafa

    Being answered or scattered dust?

  14. أُحبُّك يا ثانيَ المُصطفى

    ومن أشهد الناسَ فيه الغَديرا

    I love you, O the second of Al-Mustafa

    And the one who witnessed for people about him at Al-Ghadir

  15. وأشهدُ أنّ النبيَّ الأمينَ

    بلّغ فيكَ نداءً جهيرا

    And I bear witness that the honest Prophet

    Conveyed about you a public call

  16. وأنّ الذين تَعادوا عليكَ

    سيصلَوْنَ ناراً وساءت مصيرا

    And those who opposed you

    Will enter hell, and evil is their fate
