1. I am the son of Ali, the learned sage, of the House of Hashim.

    This alone is glory enough for me whenever I boast.

  2. My grandfather is God’s Messenger, the noblest of all who ever walked.

    And we are God’s lamp, aglow upon the earth.

  3. Fatima is my mother, the offspring of Ahmad.

    And my uncle is called He of the Two Wings—Ja‘far.

  4. And in our midst the Book of God descends in truth.

    Among us are guidance and revelation, and goodness is proclaimed.

  5. We are the people’s leaders; those loyal to us we give to drink

    from the cup of God’s Messenger—this cannot be denied.

  6. Our followers are the noblest company among all people.

    And whoever hates us shall suffer loss on Resurrection Day.

Sol 5.6
