إنّ إمَامَ الحَقّ لا يَسْأمُ أنْ
يُصْدِرَ عن حَقِيقَةٍ ويُورِدا
The Imam of truth does not tire of
Issuing truth and introducing guidance
قلّدَها عن اجْتهادٍ أهْلها
يا من رأى مُجتَهِداً مُقَلِّدا
He imitated it through his diligent scholars
O you who saw a scholar imitating
وَحَاطَها مِنْ جَانِبَيْهِ سَعْيُه
بِها مُشيداً وَلَها مُشَيِّدا
His efforts surrounded it on both sides
Supporting it and its supporters
خِلافةٌ لوْ غيرُ يحيَى المُرْتَضى
بِعِبْئها رَام قياماً قَعَدا
A caliphate, if other than Yahya Al-Murtaza
Wanted to undertake its burden, he would sit down
مِن رَأيهِ سلّ حُساماً دُونها
مَا ضَرّهُ أن لمْ يكنْ مُهَنَّدا
Ask his opinion to unsheathe a sword for it
It did not hurt him that he was not a swordsmith
ولمْ يدَعْ أمّةَ أحْمدٍ سُدى
حيثُ ارْتَضى لِعَهدِها مُحَمَّدا
And he did not leave Ahmad’s nation neglected
Where he was pleased to appoint Muhammad as its guardian
للّهِ مَا أشرَف آثَارَهُما
في الصالِحاتِ وَالِداً وَولَدا
My God, how glorious are their traces
In righteous deeds, father and son
ما بَيْنَ هَادٍ مِنهُما ومُهتَدٍ
تَبدو كَمالاتُ الوُجودِ إذ بَدا
Between the guide and guided among them
The perfections of existence appear when they appear
وكُلّما أظْلم عصْرٌ طَلَعا
فَنَوّراه قَمَراً وفَرْقَدا
Whenever an era becomes dark, they emerge
Enlightening it like a full moon
وإن وَهى للملكِ ركنٌ أو هوَى
تدَاركاهُ ساعِداً وعضُدا
If a pillar of the kingdom inclines or sways
They bolster it, lending a hand and shoulder
يا بَيعة الرّضْوانِ أوْ يا أخْتَها
هُنِّئتِ فَخراً عمرُه لن ينْفَدا
O oath of approval, or sister of it
Congratulations on pride whose life will never cease
أهدى بكَ العامُ الجديدُ أملاً
بينَ يَدَيْهِ للهُدى مُجَدِّدا
The new year has brought through you a hope
Before it, to renew guidance
واستَظهرَ الدينُ الحَنيفُ والدنَى
بمنْ ظَهيراهُ المَضاءُ والهُدى
Religion and worldly life take support
Through the one whose supporters are glory and guidance
