إِنَّ اِمرَءًا كانت مَساوِئُهُ

حُبَّ النَبيِّ لَغَيرُ ذي عَتبِ

A man whose faults

Were loving the Prophet, though blameworthy,

وَبَني أَبي حَسَنٍ وَوَالدِهِم

مَن طابَ في الأَرحامِ وَالصُلبِ

And the family of Abi Hasan and their father -

Goodly in womb and loin were they.

أَتَرَونَ ذَنبًا أَن نُحِبَّهُمُ

بَل حُبُّهُم كَفّارَةُ الذَنبِ

Do you see as sin our love for them?

Nay, loving them absolves sin.
