طالَ الهُدى وَاِعتَزَّ دينُ مُحَمَّدِ

بِخِلافَةِ المَلِكِ الأَعَزِّ مُحَمَّدِ

The guidance has lasted and Muhammad's religion has been honored

With the caliphate of the mighty King Muhammad

نَظَرَ الإِمامُ إِلى الزَّمانِ وَأَهلِهِ

نَظَرَ الغَمام السَّكبِ لِلرَّوضِ الصَّدِي

The Imam looked at the time and its people

Like a pouring rain cloud over the blossoming meadow

فَحَباهُمُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَبِمِثلِها

مِن بَيعَةٍ يَعتَزُّ دينُ مُحَمَّدِ

So he gifted them with Muhammad and the like of it

With a pledge by which Muhammad's religion is honored

وَرَأى بِأَنَّ لَهُ عَلى أَترابِهِ

فَضلَ الطَّبِيبِ عَلى جَميعِ العُوَّدِ

And he saw that over his peers

He has the superiority of the doctor over all the afflicted

لا غَروَ إِن صَغُرَت سِنُوهُ فَعِلمُهُ

وَوَقارُهُ حَكَما لَهُ بِالسُّؤدَدِ

No doubt, though his years are few, his knowledge

And composure have deemed him as eminent

إيهٍ فَإِن صَغُرَت سِنُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ

مِن نُقطَةٍ فَيضُ الأَتِيِّ المُزبِدِ

Verily though his years are few, yet he

Is from a source overflowing with the Most Mighty

وَإِذا أَمِيرُ المُؤمِنينَ اِختارَهُ

فَكَفاهُ مِن شَرَفٍ بِذاكَ مُخَلَّدِ

And when the Commander of the Faithful chose him

It was enough honor for him, made everlasting
