Claude 2

  1. أَيُّ الخَلائِقِ لَيسَت في رِقابِهِمُ

    لَأَوَّلِيَّةِ هَذا أَو لَهُ نِعَمُ

    What creature is there that does not have

    Around its neck this rope or that rope

  2. مَن يَشكُرِ اللَهَ يَشكُر أَوَّلِيَّةَ ذا

    فَالدينُ مِن بَيتِ هَذا نالَهُ الأُمَمُ

    Whoever thanks God thanks the precedence of this

    Religion from this house attained by the nations

  3. يُنمى إِلى ذُروَةِ الدينِ الَّتي قَصُرَت

    عَنها الأَكُفُّ وَعَن إِدراكِها القَدَمُ

    It ascends to the peak of religion that was beyond

    The reach of palms and feet to attain

  4. مَن جَدُّهُ دانَ فَضلُ الأَنبِياءِ لَهُ

    وَفَضلُ أُمَّتِهِ دانَت لَهُ الأُمَمُ

    He whose ancestor obeyed the superiority of prophets is for him

    And the superiority of his nation submitted to him the nations

  5. مُشتَقَّةٌ مِن رَسولِ اللَهِ نَبعَتُهُ

    وَفَضلُ أُمَّتِهِ دانَت لَهُ الأُمَمُ

    Derived from the Messenger of God, his spring

    And the superiority of his nation submitted to him the nations

  6. يَنشَقُّ ثَوبُ الدُجى عَن نورِ غُرَّتِهِ

    كَالشَمسِ تَنجابُ عَن إِشراقِها الظُلَمُ

    The robe of darkness splits open from the light of his aura

    As the sun emerges radiating from its darkness

  7. مِن مَعشَرٍ حُبُّهُم دينٌ وَبُغضُهُمُ

    كُفرٌ وَقُربُهُمُ مُنجىً وَمُعتَصَمُ

    From a group whose love is religion and whose hatred

    Is blasphemy, and their nearness is salvation and refuge

  8. مُقَدَّمٌ بَعدَ ذِكرِ اللَهِ ذِكرُهُمُ

    في كُلِّ بِدءٍ وَمَختومٌ بِهِ الكَلِمُ

    Mentioned after mention of God is their mention

    In every beginning and ending with it the word

  9. إِن عُدَّ أَهلُ التُقى كانوا أَئمَّتَهُم

    أَو قيلَ مَن خَيرُ أَهلِ الأَرضِ قيلَ هُمُ

    If the people of piety were counted, they were their imams

    Or it was said who is the best of people, it was said they

  10. لا يَستَطيعُ جَوادٌ بَعدَ جودِهِمُ

    وَلا يُدانيهِمُ قَومٌ وَإِن كَرُموا

    No generous one after their generosity can

    And no people equal them, however generous they were

  11. هُمُ الغُيوثُ إِذا ما أَزمَةٌ أَزَمَت

    وَالأُسدُ أُسدُ الشَرى وَالبَأسُ مُحتَدِمُ

    They are the succours when a crisis has constrained

    And the lion, lion of calamity and raging might

  12. لا يُنقِصُ العُسرُ بَسطاً مِن أَكُفِّهِمُ

    سِيّانِ ذَلِكَ إِن أَثرَوا وَإِن عَدِموا

    Hardship does not diminish the expansion of their palms

    That is similar whether they flourished or not

  13. يُستَدفَعُ الشَرُّ وَالبَلوى بِحُبِّهِمُ

    وَيُستَرَبُّ بِهِ الإِحسانُ وَالنِعَمُ

    Evil and afflictions are averted by their love

    And benevolence and blessings are gained by it
