أَمّا الإِمامُ فَقَد وَفى بِمَقالِهِ

صَلّى الإِلَهُ عَلى الإِمامِ وَآلِهِ

The imam fulfilled his word,

May God bless the imam and his progeny.

لُذنا بِجانِبِهِ فَعَمَّ بِفَضلِهِ

وَبِبَذلِهِ وَبِعَفوِهِ وَبِمالِهِ

We took shelter by his side, so he spread his grace,

His generosity, pardon, and wealth upon us.

لا خَلقَ أَكرَمُ مِن مَعَدٍّ شِيمَةً

مَحمُودَةً في قَولِهِ وَفَعالِهِ

No being of finer nature exists than Ma'add,

Whose word and deed are praiseworthy.

فاقصُد أَمِيرَ المُؤمِنينَ فَما تَرى

بُؤساً وَأَنتَ مُظَلَّلٌ بِظِلالِهِ

Seek the Commander of the Faithful, for you will not see,

Any distress while shaded by his protection.

زادَ الإِمامُ عَلى البُحورِ بِفَضلِهِ

وَعلى البُدورِ بِحُسنِهِ وَجَمالِهِ

The imam surpassed the seas with his grace,

And the full moons with his beauty and perfection.

وَعَلا سَريرَ المُلكِ مِن آلِ الهُدى

مَن لا تَمُرُّ الفاحِشات بِبالِهِ

He ascended the throne of the caliphate from the House of Guidance,

One who is not tainted by indecent thoughts.

النَصرُ وَالتَأيِيدُ في أَعلامِهِ

وَمَكارِمُ الأَخلاقِ في سِربالِهِ

Victory and support are in his banners,

And noble traits are in his attire.

مُستَنصِرٌ بِاللَهِ ضاقَ زَمانُهُ

عَن شِبهِهِ وَنَظيرِهِ وَمِثالِهِ

Seeking God's help, his era was too confining

For one of his likeness, peer, or equal.
