أغيرِ أَبي السبِّطِ لِلْمصْطَفى

أجابَ ولَبَّاه لمَّا دَعَا

My father, may he live long, opposed Al-Mustafa

He answered and turned to him when he called

وَصَلَّى وكلّهمُ مشركٌ

وزكَّى بخَاتِمِه راكِعا

And prayed while they were all polytheists

And paid zakat bowing in prayer

وقَدْ كان لِلْمصطفى ثانياً

فَلِمْ جعلوهُ لَهُمْ أربعا

And he was already second to Al-Mustafa

So why did they make him fourth?

علامَ إلى الذّكرِ لم تَرْجعَا

غَدَاةَ الخِلاف ولم تَفْزَعا

Why didn't you both return to the mention

The morning after the conflict and not panic

كأنكما لِحَّديثِ الغَديرِ

وعَقْد الولاَيةِ لم تَسْمَعا

As if you both didn't hear the hadith of Ghadir

And the allegiance to the Guardianship

ظلَمْتُمْ نبيِّ الهدى أجرَهُ

وقتَلتُمُ أَهْلَه أجْمَعَا

You wronged the Prophet of guidance his reward

And killed his family altogether

رعاكُمْ ولَم يأْلُ في هَدْيكمْ

فَهَلاً رعَيْتُمْ له ما رَعَى

He shepherded you and did not fail in guiding you

So why didn't you tend to him what he tended?

وكيفَ غدَا حقّه فيكم

ولَم تَبْلُ أعْظمُهُ ضَائِعا

How did his right among you become lost

And his greatest not attained scattered?

فَرعتُم مَنابرَ لم تَرْتضي

سِوى حَيْدَرٍ منكمُ قارعا

You tended pulpits that you did not approve

Other than Haydar opposing you

فآهٍ لَها عثرةً مِنكمُ

أقولُ إذا ذُكِرَتْ لا لَعا

So alas for the stumbling from you

I say when it is mentioned no no

فلا رَحمَ الله من قد غدا

لأرحامِ خيرِ الوَرى قَاطِعَا

So may Allah not have mercy on whoever

Severed ties with the best of man's kin
