قالوا : هو الصديق ، قلت : كفاه
ما يحفظ التاريخ من ذكراه
They said: He is the truthful friend, I said: He suffices
What history preserves of his mention
يكفيه " تصديق " النبي ، وأنه
في كلِّ موقف همَّةٍ زكَّاهُ
It suffices him the "truthful confirmation" of the Prophet, and that he
In every position of resolve has purified him
يكفي أبا بكر فخاراً أنَّه
في هجرة المختار قد آخاه
It suffices Abu Bakr pride that he
In the emigration of the Chosen One has supported him
قطع الجبال الراسيات مرافق
لأعز خلق الله حين دعاه
He crossed the firm mountains accompanying
The most honourable of Allah's creations when he called him
وتعجبت منه الرمال وقد مشى
تقفوا خطا الهادي البشير خطاه
And the sands were amazed by him when he walked
Following the footsteps of the guiding prophet, his steps
يمشي أمام المصطفى ووراءه
مشي المحب تفطرتْ قدماهُ
He walks ahead of Mustafa and behind him
The walk of the lover whose feet crumbled
في قصة الإسراء و المعراج من
تصديقه ما لا ينال مداه
In the story of Al-Isra and Al-Mi'raj, from
His confirmation what cannot be reached by scope
شرفٌ تتوق له الكواكب رفعة
لما ترى في الداجيات سناهُ
An honor that the planets aspire to, loftiness
For what he sees in the present life, made it old
تكفي أبا بكر خلافته التي
حفظتْ من الدين الحنيف عُراه
It suffices Abu Bakr his caliphate which
Preserved the pure religion
كالليث واجه ردَّةُ مشؤومة
فأعاد للإسلام من جافاه
Like a lion, he faced the ominous apostasy
And brought back to Islam those who abandoned it
تلميذ مدرسة النبوة و الهدى
خير الأنام على التقى رباهُ
A disciple of the school of prophecy and guidance
The best of people, whom his Lord raised upon piety
يا رحلة الصدِّيق في درب الهدى
أحييت في قلب المحبِّ رضاه
O the journey of As-Siddiq in the path of guidance
You have delighted the heart of the lover, his acceptance
