برءُ الإمامِ حياةُ الخلقِ كلهم

عمَّ السرورُ به وانثالتِ النعمُ

The Imam's wellbeing is the life of all people

Happiness has spread through him and blessings have poured down

شكا فلا مقلةً إلا أضرَّ بها

سُهدٌ ولا قلبَ إلا شفهُ ألمُ

He complained of no weakness except it did him harm

No pillow was soft, no heart free of pain's bite

تجهم الدهر لما أن شكا وبدا

ببرئهو وهو طلقُ الوجهِ مبتسمُ

Fate frowned when he complained and looked

At his radiant, smiling face

صحت بصحتهِ الآمالُ وانتعشت

وزاحمت زُحلاً في افقهِ الهممُ

With his health, hopes grew strong and were revived

And struggled with Saturn in its realm of worries

أفاضَ عدلاً على الدنيا وألبسها

نوراً فلم يبقَ لا ظلمٌ ولا ظلمُ

He brought justice to the world and clothed it

With light, so no injustice or wrong remained

وبثَّ في كلِّ إقليمٍ هُدى وندى

فليسَ يُوجَدُ لا جهلٌ ولا عدمُ

And sowed in every region guidance and dew

So no ignorance or lack was to be found

لولا سياسته ما كان ملتئماً

شعثٌ ولا كانت الأسبابُ تنتظمُ

Without his rule, nothing would be mended

No mess remedied, no means set in order

والله يختص أقواماً برحمتهِ

تجري بحكمتهِ الأرزاقُ والقِسَمُ

And God singles out some with His mercy

Provisions and shares flow by His wisdom

حاطَ الإلهُ لِنصرِ الدينِ مهجتهُ

وعُوفيت تلكمُ الأخلاقُ والشيمُ

God has wrapped his essence around defending the faith

Those manners and traits have been healed
