يا علي ماتوا اللي مانباهم يموتون

ماتوا اللي بقاهم ميت الدين يحيون

O Ali those who were not wished to die, have died

Those who their death gave life to the religion, have died

ماتوا اللي أمان الأرض هم حين يحيون

إنهم مابقوا للدين فالدين مصيون

Those who were the safety of earth when alive, have died

They did not remain for the religion, so the religion is protected

إن رؤا يذكر المولى بهم حين يراؤن

ذكرهم تنزل الرحمه به حين يحكون

If the Lord remembers them when they are seen

His remembrance of them brings down mercy when spoken of

من تشبه بهم بختهولو كان هودون

وأنظرهم ولو مره به إذ يمرون

Whoever resembles them, even if lowly, is fortunate

And look at them even once when they pass

إن تظنوا بهم خير الكم ماتظنون

أو يظن بهم شرا فهو عبد مفتون

If you think well of them, you have not thought wrong

Or if one thinks ill of them, he is a deluded servant

من يعادي لهم حاربه من كون الكون

كل من حبهم منهم يعد إذ يعدون

Whoever opposes them, whoever exists in the universe fights him

All who love them are counted among them when enumerated

أو جلس عندهم جلسه وللذكر يتلون

ذاك يغفر له معهم كذا جاء يروون

Or sat in their company, his sitting is with remembrance recited

For him is forgiveness along with them, so it has been narrated

ليتني معهم أو عندهم حين يدعون

بخت من هو بهم صب موله ومفتون

Would that I were with them or near them when they supplicate

Blessed is he who is with them, enraptured with his Master

صار كله بهم قلبه وقالبه مرهون

الدعاة الهداة الراسخون المحبون

He has become through them, his heart and mould pledged

The callers, the guides, the firmly rooted, the loving

وارثوا الأنبيا في علم مخزون مكنون

حبهم عندنا مفروض لا نفل مسنون

Inheritors of the prophets in stored, concealed knowledge

Loving them with us is obligatory, not optional supererogatory

ماهم الاخبايا للبلايا يزيلون

ماهم الأدوا من كل علة يداوون

They are nothing but remedies for afflictions, removing them

They are the cures for every illness, healing

كل من له نظر في حبهم ما يرى هون

فاستمع ذكر كلب الكهف في حين يقرون

Whoever has any insight in loving them sees no difficulty

So listen to the mention of the Cave's dog when they recite

ينفعون الورى في كل شيء ما يضرون

هل ترانا نراهم أو بنا يوم يرضون

They benefit the world in everything, they do no harm

Do you see us seeing them, or pleased with us one day?

ما أظن وإن ظنيت ذا صرت مجنون

كيف يرضون من عمرهم مر يعصون

I do not think so, even if I did I would be mad

How would they be pleased when we passed our lives disobeying?

عمرهم مر في غفله يصلون ساهون

ربنا تب علينا إنني جيت محزون

Our lives passed in heedlessness, praying forgetfully

Our Lord turn to us, I have come feeling regret

طالب العفو يامنه العفو مسهون

واغفر الذنب يامن فضله غير ممنون

Seeking pardon, O He whose pardon is guaranteed

And forgive the sin, O He whose bounty is endless
