نَحْنُ الرِّفاعيَّةُ الأعْلامُ ما بَرحَتْ

إِلاَّ ولاحَتْ لنا في الكَوْنِ أنْوارُ

We are the towering banners, we Raifa'is never cease

Our lights kept shining in the universe and increased

جَلَّتْ مَظاهرُها سِرًّا وظاهِرُنا

طَوى نِظاماً به للفَضلِ مِضْمارُ

Our signs openly and secretly excelled

And established a system of merit we held

من كلِّ شَيخٍ كبيرٍ مُفْرَدٍ عَلَمٍ

كأنَّهُ عَلَمٌ في رأسِهِ نارُ

Each elder, each singular flag, a blazing torch

As if a fire burned atop his head perched

تَسَلَّقَتْ ذِرْوَةَ العَليا عَصائِبُنا

شُموسُ مَنْقَبَةٍ تُجْلى وأنْوارُ

Our lofty ambitions climbed up the highest peak

Suns unveiled and lights that clarity seek

طافَتْ بِنا الأولِياءُ الزُّهْرُ واحْتَفَلَتْ

بِعَهْدنا ولهم من حالِنا جارُ

The saints flocked around us, and flowers were strewn

Celebrating our era, defending our boon

طابَتْ مَعاهِدُنا لَذَّتْ مَوارِدُنا

عَزَّتْ مَشاهِدُنا والقومُ قد حاروا

Our schools flourished, our resources flowed

Our visions emboldened, while others were wowed

لنا قُلوبٌ عن الأغْيارِ غائِبَةٌ

ونحنُ قومٌ مع المَحْبوبِ حُضَّارُ

Our hearts detached from strangers, aloof

And we became close companions with our beloved proof

يُكابِرُ الخَصْمُ كي يَطوي مَظاهِرنا

بالوَهمِ يَطوي وكَفُّ الغَيبِ نَشَّارُ

The rival denies just to hide our signs

With delusions he hides what destiny divines

يُريدُ إبْطانَنا المَخْذولُ عن حَسَدٍ

ونحنُ قامَ لنا في الغَيبِ إظْهارُ

From envy he seeks to subvert our essence

While divine support aids us in absent presence

قد راحَ بالزُّورِ والبُهْتانِ مُنْتَصراً

وعندنا من جُنودِ الله أنْصارُ

With lies and slander he claimed victory

But God's armies stood by us loyally

مَواهِبُ الله لا تُمْحى بِشِنْشِنَة

من ذي ضَلالٍ وحالُ الغَيبِ قَهَّارُ

God's gifts cannot be erased by disbeliever's din

The unseen is dominant, this truth shall win

لنا مع الله أحْوالٌ مُؤَيَّدَةٌ

غَيباً وفيها لِسِرِّ الله أسرارُ

We have divine states of aid and protection

Secrets of God, beyond worldly detection

ثارَ الحَواسِدُ عَجْزاً قَصْدُهُمْ أثَراً

مِنَّا وفاتَهُمُ المَرْمى ولو طاروا

The envious rise against us, desperate, in vain

Their efforts fall short, though they strain and complain

نحنُ الشُّموسُ التي ضِمْنَ العُلى سَطَعَتْ

والعُمْيُ قالوا دَجَتْ لمَّا لَها غاروا

We are the shining suns, though the blind said

It's dark, for in their caves they fled

نُبْنا الرَّسولَ بإرشادٍ ومَعرفةٍ

وبَحْرُنا عنهُ بالبُرْهانِ زَخَّارُ

We guide to the Prophet with knowledge and wisdom deep

And our sea of proof is stormy and steep

واختارَنا الله أنصاراً لِمَنْهَجهِ

وإنَّما نائِبُ المُخْتارِ مُخْتارُ

God chose us as aides of his creed and way

A deputy of the chosen is chosen today

نحنُ ارْتَقَينا مَراقي المَجدِ عن أدبٍ

غَضٍّ وفيه على حُسَّادِنا العارُ

With humility and dignity we climbed fame

While our envious foes bear nothing but shame

رَمَوا نُجومَ العُلى طَيشاً بأسْهُمِهمْ

بينَ العُلى والثَّرى يا صاحِ أدْوارُ

They futilely flung arrows at our guiding stars

Between the heavens and earth, their efforts fell far

قُمْنا فَقامَتْ شُؤُنُ الغَيبِ تَكْنِفُنا

وكُلُّنا بالشَّذا الغَيْبِيِّ مِعْطارُ

We stood up and the world of secrets came to aid

Perfumed with divine fragrance, our quest stayed

قلْ للأعادي رُوَيداً وارْقُبوا خَبَراً

من السَّماءِ صُرِعْتُمْ ما لكم دارُ

Say to our enemies: wait and behold

From the heavens you will be struck down manifold

نِمْنا على الأمنِ رَيبٌ يُزَلْزِلُنا

والله للمُخْلِصِ المَكسورِ جَبَّارُ

Do our victories make you worried and wary?

God backs the loyal despite them being weary

رُمْتُمْ بنا أخذَ ثارٍ فاثْبُتوا وإذاً

منكمْ بِعَزمِ التَّجَلِّي يُؤْخَذُ الثَّارُ

You have blamed us, now stand your ground

And divine manifestation will turn things around

هذا ضَمانٌ قَديمٌ خُطَّ في صُحُفٍ

غَيْبِيَّةٍ ولها المُخْتارُ سَبَّارُ

An ancient promise was written long ago

In divine scrolls, by the Glorious Doer of all in the know

لنا من المُصْطَفى في كلِّ مَنْقَبَةٍ

شُؤُنُ سِرٍّ وأحوالٌ وأطْوارُ

From the Chosen we have secret spiritual states

Attributes, conditions, levels that he relates

قُمنا على مِنْبَرِ العَليا وقد سُدِلَتْ

على مَظاهِرِنا بالعِزِّ أسْتارُ

We stood on the pulpit of lofty divine station

Veiled by honor, beyond worldly valuation

تلكَ البراهينُ والأيَّامُ شاهدةٌ

وللَّيالي حِكاياتٌ وأخْبارُ

Signs and days bear witness to this affair

Nights whisper stories and tales that declare

وعندَ كَشْفِ الغطاءِ البَحْتِ يَظهرُ من

طَيِّ الخَبايا لأهلِ الذَّوقِ أسرارُ

When the veil is lifted, discerning hearts will see

From the folds of secrecy, truths and signs to be

فاشْهَدْ بَشائِرَنا وارْقُبْ أشائِرَنا

ويَفْعَلُ الله ما يقضي ويختارُ

So witness our tidings and await our portents

God decrees what He wills, He chooses and sends
