قلت إذ عمَّ عليٌّ بالندى

سائر الناس لقد خصّ رئيسا

When Ali was covered with dew,

He was distinguished as a chief above all people.

صاحب الأسرار بحر مسعف

لوزير الشام يثني عنه بؤسا

The keeper of secrets, a helpful sea

To the minister of Damascus, removing misery from him.

رَبّ سخَّر ليَ موسى مسعفاً

يا إلهاً سخَّر البحر لموسى

My Lord appointed Moses as a helper for me.

O God, You subjected the sea for Moses.
