قُل للإمامِ الذي فضائلُه

أقلُّها لا يُحدُّ بالعدَدِ

Tell the Imam whose virtues

The least of them cannot be counted

يا حافظاً تُصبحُ البحارُ إذا

قيسَتْ بجدوى يديهِ كالزّبَدِ

O guardian, the oceans become

As foam compared to the benefit of his hands

قد دنتِ الشمسُ منك مسرعةً

فسِرْ الى الظّلِّ غيرَ متّئِدِ

The sun has come near you hastily

So walk to the shade without lingering

ولستُ أخشى عليك من ضررٍ

يوهِنُ بالمسِّ صحّةَ الجسَدِ

And I do not fear any harm upon you

That would weaken the health of the body

لكنني والذي يُديمُ لك الت

وفيقَ منه في الأهلِ والولَدِ

But I, by Him who perpetuates for you

Success with family and children

خِفْتُ على الشمسِ أن تراكَ فتسْ

وَدَّ سريعاً من شدّةِ الحسَدِ

I feared for the sun, that it would see you

And quickly become jealous of intense envy

يا عالي القدْرِ عاليَ السّندِ

وداني الرِّفْدِ دانيَ الصّفَدِ

O highest in rank, highest in support

Near in aid, near in shackles

أرى نداك الكريمَ ذا بخَلٍ

فينا ووِرْدَ البحارِ كالثّمَدِ

I see your generous palm is stingy

Towards us, while the ocean is abundant
