كل داع لعليٍّ

إنما يدعو لنفسِهْ

Every caller for Ali

Is really calling for himself,

وعلى من يتمنّى

يومه مرجوعُ وكسِه

And for the one who wishes

His day returned and his fortune.

قد رأى من قد رأى يو

مَ عليٍّ يوم تعسه

He saw what he saw that day

Of Ali on his woeful day.

وَدَّ حُسّادُ عليٍّ

أنهم حَشْوٌ لرمسه

The enviers of Ali rejoiced

That they are the filling of his spear.

أي وصافِ عليٍّ

لا يُقرّون بنحسه

Oh what attributes of Ali

They do not acknowledge as his virtues.
