حُبُّ عَلِيَّ عُلُوُّ هِمَّهْ

لِأَنَّهُ سَيِّدُ الأَثِمَّهْ

Love of Ali is lofty in its concern

For he is the master of the faithful clan

فَتِّشْ مُحِبِّيْهِ هَلْ تَرَاهُمْ

إِلاَّ ذَوِي ثَرْوَةٍ وَنِعْمَهْ

Search among his lovers, will you find

Except the wealthy and those blessed?

بِيْنَ رَئِيْسٍ إِلَى نَفِيْسٍ

قَدْ أَكْمَلَ الظَّرْفَ وَاسْتَتَمَّهْ

From chieftain down to commoner

Perfect in merit, complete in qualities

وَطَيِّبِ الأَصْلِ لَيْسَ فِيْهِ

عِنْدَ امْتِحَانِ الأُصُولِ تُهْمَهْ

Of good stock, no blemish can be found

When lineages are examined for flaws

وَهُمْ إِذَا فُضِّلُوا ضِيَاءٌ

وَالنَّصْبُ وَالنَّاصِبُونَ ظُلْمَهْ

They are radiance when given precedence

While rivalry and rivals are but darkness
