1. Take your time, O noble man,

    And visit a grave where the wise scholar lies.

  2. And solemnly greet an imam,

    Beneath whose grave's earth lie hidden branches of learning.

  3. A young man called Ibrahim, but

    His father is al-Mustafa, the righteous, the merciful.

  4. An imam, Hashimite and Haydari,

    Possessing age-old honor and benefactions.

  5. A lineage higher than the lofty, blazing stars,

    And knowledge surpassing the immense sea.

  6. The passing nights made his tomb decay,

    So the handsome young Umar restored it.

  7. Pious, pure, virtuous, trustworthy,

    Learned, practicing what he knows, a luminary, forbearing.

  8. He loves the righteous, and that one is among them,

    And love for them is a straight path.

  9. So he raised their domes with generosity and munificence,

    In Baghdad, though all of them have turned to dust.

  10. So rise and behold a building like pearls;

    The stars gleam above its masonry.

  11. Remove our suffering, alone, and record the date:

    A building before which momentous tidings pale.
