يا إِمامَ الحَقِّ يا مَنْ فَضْلُهُ

شَمَلَ العالَمَ إِحْساناً وعَمْ

O Imam of truth, whose grace

Has blessed the world with kindness and favor,

والذي أيَّامُهُ مَمْلوءَةٌ

في الرِّضا والسَّخْطِ بأساً وكَرمْ

Whose days are filled

With contentment and anger, might and nobility,

والذي حَبْوَتُهُ مَعْقودَةٌ

بِذُرى الأوْرقِ والبحر الخضمْ

Whose lineage is tied

To the tall spears and the vast sea,

والذي يُظْهِرُ منْ إِحْسانِهِ

نُصْرَةَ الجارِ وإِنْ جادَ كَتَمْ

Who reveals through his kindness

Aid to a neighbor, even if he is miserly and conceals it,

مُسْتَضيءٌ بهُدى خالِقِهِ

فَبهِ يَنْجابُ ظُلْمٌ وظُلَمْ

Illuminated by the guidance of his Creator,

Through which oppression and injustice cease,

عِشْتَ للإسلامِ تحْمي سِرْبَهُ

صارِمَ النَّجْدَةِ فَيَّاضَ النِّعَمْ

You have lived for Islam, protecting its flock

With your sharp and generous swords,

يَنْقُلُ الرُّكْبانُ ما جئتَ بهِ

مِن بَديعاتِ المَساعي والهِمَمْ

Bearing the gifts you bring

Of sublime endeavors and aspirations.

فإذا سارٍ وَنى مِنْ نَصَبٍ

حَثَّهُ زاجِرُ سَوَّاقٍ حُطَمْ

So if one journeying suffers hardship,

He is roused by a driver's rebuke and is humbled,

أسمَعَتْ سيرتُكَ الصُّمَّ الصَّفا

فأتى يحْمَدُكَ الشَّهْرُ الأصَمْ

The deaf their seclusion forsook

When they heard of you, and the mute sang your praise,

فَتَهنَّأتَ مَدى أمْثالِهِ

ما غَدذا الماطِرُ نَبْتاً ونَعَمْ

You rejoiced in the span of your peers

When the rain poured forth vegetation and bounty.
