بَلَغت نَفسي مُناها
بِالمَوالي آلِ طه
My soul has attained its wish
Through praising the family of Taha (Prophet Muhammad)
بِرَسولِ اللَهِ مَن حا
زَ المَعالي وَحَواها
Through praising the Messenger of Allah, who attained glory and contained it
And his brother, the best of souls
وَأَخيهِ خَيرِ نَفسٍ
شَرَّفَ اللَهُ بناها
Whom Allah honored in creating him
And the daughter of Mustafa, who
وَبِبنتِ المُصطَفى مَن
أَشبَهَت فَضلاً أَباها
Resembled her father in excellence
And in loving Al-Hasan the eloquent
وَبِحُبِّ الحَسَنِ البا
لِغِ في العليا مَداها
Whose glory reached the highest levels
And Al-Husayn the chosen one on the day
وَالحسينِ المُرتَضى يَو
مَ المَساعي اِذ حَواها
When trials surrounded him
There is no one among them but a shining star
لَيسَ فيهِم غَيرُ نَجمٍ
قَد تَمالى وَتَناهى
That reached the highest elevation
They are a family whom the whole world
عَترَةٌ أَصبَحَت الدُن
يا جَميعاً في ذُراها
Became humbled before
Do not be deceived when they were usurped
لا تُغَرُّوا حينَ صارَت
بِاِغتِصابٍ لِعداها
Through the transgression of their enemies
O you envious one, wretched is
أَيُّها الحاسِدُ تَعساً
لَكَ اِذ رمتَ قلاها
Your state when you cast stones at their sanctity
Is there a year like their years?
هَل سَناً مِثل سناها
هَل عُلىً مِثل علاها
Is there a nobility like their nobility?
Or are they not the elite of Allah
أَوَ لَست صَفوةَ اللَ
هِ عَلى الخَلقِ اِصطَفاها
Whom He chose and tested?
He chose them when He chose them
وَبَراها اِذ بَراها
وَعَلى النَجمِ ثَراها
And exalted them above the stars
The trees of knowledge are blessed
شَجراتُ العِلمِ طوبى
لِلَّذي نالَ جناها
For those who attained their fruits
O you who hate them, listen
أَيُّها الناصِبُ سَمعاً
أَخذ القوسَ فَتاها
I have taken my bow ready to shoot
Listen to undebatable merits
استَمِع غُرَّ معالٍ
في قَريضي مُجتَلاها
In my sincere poetry
The one who in battle protects his oaths
مَن كَمَولايَ عَلِيٍّ
في الوَغى يَحمي لِظاها
While the heroes’ shoulders clung to each other in fear
The one who hunts down the prey
وَخُصى الأَبطالِ قَد لا
صَقنَ لِلخَوفِ كُلاها
When it escapes, pursues it
He pursued it, then was pleased with it
مَن يصيدُ الصَيدَ فيها
بِالظُبى حينَ اِنتَضاها
When he overcame them
The one who has in every day
اِنتَضاها ثُمَّ اَمضا
ها عَلَيهِم فَاِرتَضاها
Unparalleled heroisms
How many rugged battles has he
مَن لَهُ في كُلِّ يَومٍ
وَقَفاتٌ لا تُضاهى
Vanquished with his sword?
O you who hate me and cast
كَم وَكَم حَربٍ عُقامٍ
قَدَّ بِالصَمامِ فاها
Stones recklessly at me
Remember the deeds of Badr
يا عَذولِيَّ عَلَيهِ
رُمتُما مِنّي سَفاها
I do not want anything other than them
Remember the battle of Uhud
اِذكُر أَفعالَ بَدرٍ
لَستُ أَبغي ما سِواها
It is a shining sun
Remember the battle of Hunayn
اِذكُروا غَزوَةَ أُحدٍ
اِنَّهُ شَمسُ ضحاها
It is a full moon in darkness
Remember Al-Ahzab, it will teach you
اِذكُرا حَربَ حنينٍ
اِنَّهُ بَدرُ دُجاها
That he is a fierce lion
Remember Muhajir's slaying
اِذكُروا الأَحزابَ تُعلِم
اِنَّهُ لَيثُ شَراها
How he completely destroyed him
Remember the event of Bariyyah
اِذكُروا مُهجَةَ عَمروٍ
كَيفَ أَفناها تِجاها
And believe me in who deserved it
Remember who married Zahra
اِذكُرا أَمرَ بَراةٍ
وَاصدِقاني مَن تَلاها
So he may boast
Remember the morning flight
اِذكُرا من زُوِّجَ الزَه
راءَ كَيما يَتَباهى
For its brilliance has soared
Remember the summits of knowledge
اِذكُرا لي بُكرَةَ الطَي
رِ فَقَد طارَ سناها
And who untangled its complexities
So many deeds I mentioned
اِذكرا لي قُلَلَ العل
مِ وَمَن حَلَّ ذَراها
And so many I forgot
His status is like that of Haroun
كَم امورٍ ذَكَراها
وَاِمورٍ نَسِياها
To Musa, so understand it
His mention in Allah's books
حالُهُ حالَةُ هارو
نَ لِموسى فَاِفهَماها
Encompasses who encompassed it
The nations of Musa and Isa
ذِكرُهُ في كُتُبِ اللَ
هِ دَراها مَن دَراها
Have tested him, so ask them
Is there higher love for Ali
أُمَّتا موسى وَعيسى
قَد بِلَتهُ فَاِسأَلاها
While people call me foolish?
My poetry did not enter their ears
أَعلى حبٍّ عَليٍّ
لامَني القَومُ سَفاها
Nor did its echo enter deaf ones
They neglected his closeness in ignorance
لَم يلج آذانَهُم شع
ريَ لا صُمَّ صَداها
And exceeded its requirement
They broke their oath to him after certitude
أَهملوا قُرباهُ جَهلاً
وَتَخَطّوا مقتَضاها
And envied his strength
They cursed him with curses
نَكَثوهُ بَعدَ أَيما
نٍ أَغاروا مِن قُواها
That stuck to them bare of covering
And they lived a day of regret
لَعَنوهُ لَعَناتٍ
لَزمَتهُم بِعُراها
That Allah did not make honorable
They sought the world while he
وَعَشوا في يَومِ خُمٍ
لا جَلا اللَهُ عَشاها
Turned away from it and spurned it
Were it not for the religion, he would not
طَلَبوا الدُنيا وَقَد أَع
رَضَ عَنها وَجَفاها
Have cared for one who rejected it
He sought refuge from it even if
وَهوَ لَولا الدينُ لَم يَأ
سَف عَلى مَن قَد نَفاها
A dog had come to claim it
O you who will divide Hell and Heaven
وَاِحتَمى عَنها وَلَو قَد
قامَ كَلبٌ فَاِدَّعاها
Do not fear mistakes
The sun was returned for him
يا قَسيمَ النارِ وَالجَن
نَةِ لا تَخشى اِشتِباها
After its setting
He has the Prophet's overflowing cup
رُدَّت الشَمسُ عَلَيهِ
بَعدَما فاتَ سَناها
From which he gives drink to whom he wishes
The first of people in prayer
وَلَهُ كَأسُ رَسولِ ال
لهِ مَن شاءَ سَقاها
He made piety his garment
He knew the interpretation when
أَوَّلُ الناسِ صَلاةً
جَعَلَ التَقوى حُلاها
They were ignorant of what it contained
None can count his influences
عَرَفَ التَأويل لَمّا
أَن جَهلتُهم ما طَحاها
That he protected and hid
Except the One who spread the earth
لَيسَ يُحصي مأثرات
قَد حَماها وَاِعتَماها
And counted everything wet and dry
What can the tribe of transgression fight him with
غَيرُ مَن قَد وَطَّأَ الأَر
ضَ وَمن أَحصى حَصاها
With all kinds of afflictions?
They killed him, then were not satisfied
ما يحرب عصبُ البَغ
يِ بِأَنواعِ بَلاها
With the horrors they put him through
They turned to fight his sons
قَتَلتهُ ثُمَّ لَم تَق
نَع بِما كانَ شَقاها
With their wolves and their snakes
They wanted to kill the older one with poison
فَتَصَدَّت لِبَنيهِ
بِظُباها وَمداها
But it was not enough for them
So they set out to get Husayn
أَردَتِ الأَكبَرِ بِالسَم
م وَما كانَ كَفاها
His family and his women
It is a world that does not make pure
وَاِنبَرَت تَبغي حُسَيناً
وَعَرَتهُ وَعَراها
The son of the religion that legislated it
They forbade him water and thirsted him
وَهيَ دنياً لَيسَ تَصفو
لاِبنِ دينٍ مَشرعاها
Brazenly when they met him
They denied him a drink while birds
ناوَشَتهُ عَطَّشَتهُ
جُرأَةً في مُلتَقاها
Had quenched their thirst from his blood
They wasted his life, oh how
مَنَعَتهُ شربَةً وَالط
طيرُ قَد أَروَت صَداها
I wish my soul had ransomed his
His daughter calls for her father
وَأَفاتَت نَفسَهُ يا
لَيتَ روحي قَد فداها
His sister cries for her brother
If Ahmed had seen what sorrow
بِنتُهُ تَدعو أَباها
أُختُهُ تَبكي أَخاها
And grief befell him
If he had seen Zaynab taken captive
لَو رَأى أَحمَدُ ما كا
نَ دَهاهُ وَدَهاها
And seen Shimr leading her
He would have complained of his state to Allah
وَرَأى زَينَبَ وَلهى
وَرَأى شَمراً سَباها
And He was worthier of relieving it
To Allah he will come
أَلشكا الحال إِلى اللَ
ه وَقَد كانَ شكاها
And He is best in rewarding
May Allah curse the son of Harb
وَإِلى اللَهِ سَيَأتي
وَهوَ أَولى من جَزاها
With a curse that blackens foreheads
O you Shias, my words are not about
لَعَنَ اللَهُ اِبنَ حَربٍ
لَعنَةً تَكوي الجِباها
Those who opposed them
I was in a state of lament
أَيُّها الشيعَةُ لا أَع
ني بِقَولي مَن عَداها
Its harm distressed me
The cup of their grief made me drink
كُنتُ في حالِ شَكاةٍ
أَزعَجَتني بِأَذاها
To sober from its intoxication
So I gained relief in this praise
كَأسُ حماها سَقَتني
عن حُمَيّاها حُماها
When I first undertook it
By Allah, He did not let its harm
فَتَشَفَّيتُ بِهذا ال
مَدحِ في الوَقتِ اِبتَداها
Remain after my poetry was complete
I thank Allah abundantly
فَوَحَقِّ اللَه انَّ ال
لهَ لَم يَثبت أَذاها
Mighty is He on the Throne
Then my masters, for words
وَكَفى نَفسِيَ لَمّا
تَمَّ شعري ما عَراها
Are cast in their courtyard
O people of Kufa, recite this
أَحمَدُ اللَهَ كَثيراً
عَزَّ ذو العَرشِ الها
And make its presentation beautiful
Son of Abbad, her father
ثُمَّ ساداتي فَاِنَّ ال
قَولُ يُلقى في ذَراها
To whom it is brought
He seeks Heaven through it
أَيُّها الكوفِيُّ أَنشد
هذِهِ وَاِحلُل حِباها
He wants no money or status
وَاِبنُ عَبّادٍ أَبوها
وَاِلَيهِ مُنتَماها
طلبَ الجَنَّةَ فيها
لَم يُرِد مالاً وَجاها
