وجاءَ عن ابن عبد الله أنا

بهِ كنّا نَمِيزُ المؤمنينا

And it was reported from Ibn Abd Allah that

By it we would distinguish the believers

فنعرفُهم بحبِّهمِ عَليّاً

وإن ذوي النفاقِ لَيَعرِفونا

So we recognize them by their love of Ali

And the hypocrites surely know

بِبغضِهمِ الوصيَّ ألا فبُعداً

لهم ماذا عليه يَنقَمونا

By their hatred of the successor. Nay, far away

Are they! What do they resent Ali for?

وممّا قالتِ الأنصارُ كانت

مقالةَ عارفين مُجرِّبينا

And among what the Helpers said was

The saying of the knowers, the experienced ones

بِبِغْضهمِ إلى الهادي عَرفنا

وحقّقنا نِفاقَ منافقينا

By their hatred of the Guide we recognized

And realized the hypocrisy of the hypocrites

ومن ذا دارُه في أصل طُوبى

وتَلقاهُ الكرامُ مصافِحينا

And who has a house in the essence of bliss

And the generous meet him with handshakes

وأنهارٌ تَفجَّرُ جارياتٍ

تُفيض الخمرَ والماءَ المَعينا

And rivers bursting with running

Waters overflowing wine and fresh water

وأنهارٌ من العسل المصفَّى

ومحضُ غير محضِ الحاقِنينا

And rivers of filtered honey

And pure without the pure of the stingy

ألم يك خيرَهم أهلاً ووِلْداً

وأفضلَهم معاً لا يُنكرونا

Were not his people the best of people and children

And the superior of them together they do not deny

ألم يكُ أهلُه خيرَ الأنامِ

وسِبطاه رئيسَ الفائزينا

Were not his family the best of mankind

And his grandson the chief of the successful

ومن أَكملتمْ الإيمانَ فارضُوا

عبادَ الله في الإسلام دينا

And O people who perfected faith be pleased

With the servants of God in Islam as a religion

وقال فلا وربِّك لا يَفيئوا

إليكَ ولا يَكونوا مؤمِنينا

And he said no, by your Lord, they will not return

To you nor will they be believers
