أيها السيد الذي ورث السؤ

دد عن كل سيد صندِيدِ

O master who inherited glory

Above every eminent master

والذي راح يحمل الظَّرْف والحج

جَةَ حمل الذكيِّ غير البليدِ

Who went on to carry knowledge and proof

The burden of the wise, not the foolish

غَزَليّاً وتارةً جَدَليَّا

مستعداً لكل خصم عنيدِ

At times unraveling, at others tying knots

Ready for every stubborn opponent

أحي ما أبْدأتْ يداك من العُر

ف بعَوْدٍ من مُبدئٍ ومُعيدِ

Revive what your hands initiated

With a new beginning and repetition

واذكرِ الجعْد وارعَهُ فيَّ واحفظ

حُرْمَتينا بالعدل والتوحيدِ

And remember the covenant and nurture it in me

And preserve our sanctity with justice and monotheism

فهما يجمعانِنا وولاءٌ

ثالثٌ وهو قوْلنا بالوعيدِ

For they unite us, and allegiance

Is a third, it being our word of warning

عبدُ شمسٍ أبوك وهو أبونا

لا نُنَاديك من مكانٍ بعيدِ

Servant of a sun, your father, and he is our father

We do not call you from a distant place

عَقْدُنا واحدٌ وهاتيك قُربَى

مَسُّها مثلُ مسِّ حبلِ الوريدِ

Our bond is one, and these are relatives

Whose touch is like the touch of a vein's cord

فارْعَ شيخاً لو استماحك حيَّاً

ما رأيتَ الرضا له بالزهيدِ

So tend to a sheikh, if he seeks your pardon alive

You would not see him satisfied with the ascetic

وتَوَهَّمْه شافعاً فيَّ مكْرو

ثاً لضيق أصبحتُ فيه شديدِ

And imagine him an intercessor for me, worried

For I have fallen into terrible straits

حقُّه واجبٌ عليك وحقي

بانتحال المقال عين السديدِ

His right is obligatory upon you, and my right

In properly conveying this discourse lies

وأراني إليك أقربَ منه

بمَمِيلي إلى الوصيِّ الشهيدِ

And I see myself closer to you than him

In my inclination to the martyred successor

أنا من شيعةِ الوصيِّ عليه

صَلَواتٌ من الحميد المجيدِ

I am of the successor's supporters

Blessings be upon the Praiseworthy, the Mighty
