عشْ يا إمام العلى والعلم ذا نعمٍ
لقاصر السعي مثلي طامح الأمل
Live long, O master of knowledge and action, abounding in favors
to one whose striving falls short, like me, yet whose hope reaches high.
أقسمت ما عثرت بالفقر لي قدمٌ
إلا وصاحَ رجائي فيك يا لعلي
I swear: never has a foot of mine stumbled through poverty
without my hope in you crying out, “O Ali, help!”
