وَصَلَ الجوادُ من الجَوادِ

رَبِّ العَوارِفِ والأيادي

The stallion arrived, from the stallions,

Lord of the cognitions and the hands,

رحْبُ اللَّبانِ سَما لَهُ

لَحْظٌ ورادِفَةٌ وهادي

Spacious are its pastures, the sky is his domain,

A gaze, a gallop and a guide.

جُمِعَتْ لِمُرْسِلِهِ المَناقِبُ

وهو مَجْموع المُرادِ

His attributes were assembled for its sender,

And it is the collection of purpose.

فَتَشابَها مُتَسابِقَيْنِ

بيومِ مَيْدانٍ ونادِ

So they resembled two competing,

On a day of field and club.

هذا سَبوقٌ للأجا

وِدِ وهو سَبَّاق الجِيادِ

This is an advance for the beloved,

And it is the forerunner of the steeds.

أهْداهُ أرْوَعُ ماجِدٌ

سامي المَحَلَّةِ والعِمادِ

The most magnificent bestowed it,

The lofty pillar and base.

تشْكو العِشارُ الكُومُ صارِمَهُ

كما تشْكو الأعادي

The foes complain of its sharp blade,

As the enemies complain.

فصباحُهُ جَمُّ الغُبارِ

وليْلُهُ جَمُّ الرَّمادِ

So its morning overwhelms the dust,

And its night overwhelms the ashes.

الخِرْقُ عِزُّ الدِّينِ هازِمُ

كلِّ رائعَةِ نَأدِ

The breach is the might of the religion, defeating

Every roaring lion.

بمَضاءِ إِقْدامٍ تُظاهِرُهُ

أناةٌ مِنْ سَدادِ

With the brightness of courage complementing it

Is composure from integrity.

كالسَّيْفِ ثَبْتٌ في الغُمودِ

وقاطِعٌ يومَ الجِلادِ

Firm in the sheath like a sword,

And cutting on the day of confrontation.

يَهْتَزُّ مِن ذِكْرِ العُلى

هَزَّ المُثَقَّفَةِ الصِّعادِ

It shakes from the mention of the Most High,

The shaking of the cultivated hillsides.

ويُرِيكَ مِن قَسَماتِهِ

لَمعانَ مُرْهفَةٍ حِدادِ

And it shows you from its features,

The radiance of judicious blacksmiths.

وهو المُجاهِدُ بالشَّآمِ

وبالعراق أخُو جِهادِ

It is the fighter in the Levant,

And in Iraq a brother of jihad.

مِن تَحتِ راياتِ الإِمامَةِ

وهي داعيَةُ الرَّشادِ

Under the banners of the Imamate,

Which calls unto guidance.

فأعِيذُ مَجْدَ المَرْزُبانِ

بِرافِعِ السَّبعِ الشِّدادِ

So I seek refuge in the glory of Marzuban,

With the Brandisher of the Firm Mountains.

وأبيحُهُ مِدَحاً تَدارَسُ

في الحَواضِرِ والبَودي

And I speak it in praise circulated

In the cities and plains.

تَتأرَّجُ الدُّنْيا لَها

مِن غيرِ مِسْكٍ أوْ جِسادِ

The world glitters for it,

Without musk or perfume.

سَيَّارةٌ أبْياتُها

كَمسيرِ صيتي في البِلادِ

A carriage whose verses

Travel like the extent of my fame in the lands.
