وَقالوا عَلِيٌّ عَلا قلتُ لا

فَاِن العُلى بِعَلِيٍّ عَلا

They said Ali is exalted, I said no

For exaltation is through Ali exalted

وَلكِن أَقولُ كَقَولِ النَبِيِّ

وَقَد جَمع الخَلقَ كلَّ الملا

But I say as the Prophet said

When he gathered all people, scholars all

أَلا اِنَّ مَن كُنتُ مَولاً لَهُ

يُوالي عَلِيّاً وَاِلّا فَلا

"Know that whosoever I am his master

Ali is his master, or else no"
