وَلائي لِآلِ المُصطَفى عِقدُ مَذهَبي

وَقَلبِيَ مِن حُبِّ الصَحابَةِ مُفعَمُ

My allegiance is to the Prophet's family, the creed I profess

And my heart is filled with love for his companions

وَما أَنا مِمَّن يَستَجيزُ بِحُبِّهِم

مَسَبَّةَ أَقوامٍ عَليهِم تَقَدَّموا

I am not one who thinks it right to express love for them

By reviling others who came before them

وَلَكِنَّني أُعطي الفَريقَينِ حَقَّهُم

وَرَبّي بِحالِ الأَفضَلِيَّةِ أَعلَمُ

Rather I give each group its due right

And my Lord knows best who is superior

فَمَن شاءَ تَعويجي فَإِنّي مُعَوَّجٌ

وَمَن شاءَ تَقويمي فَإِنّي مُقَوَّمُ

So let him who wishes view me as biased

And let him who wishes view me as even-handed
