إِن جِئتَ مَسجِدَ نَجلِ الجِيلِ صَلِّ مَعَه

ولاَ تُرَتِّبهُ وأهجُر خَلفَهُ الجُمَعَه

If you come to the mosque of the son of the generation, pray with him

And do not contradict him, and abandon praying behind him on Fridays

ولا تَكُن خَلفَهُ في سُنَّةٍ أبَداً

ففي إِمَامَتِهِ الأَحكَامُ مُجتمِعَه

And never be behind him in a practice, ever

For in his leadership, the rulings are united

فَقَد رأَينَا بِه سِيمَا تُؤيِّدُ ما

أخفَاهُ مِن حَالِهِ والنَّاسُ مُطَّلِعَه

For we have seen in him a sign that affirms what

He has concealed of his state, and the people are watching

فَالبَعضُ رَآءٍ لَهُ والبَعضُ سَامِعُهُ

ولَيسَ مَن رَآءَ شَيئاً مِثلَ مَن سَمِعَه

So some flatter him and some listen to him

And no one who sees something is like one who hears it
