أحقُّ من أنجزَ موعودَه

خليفةُ الله على خَلْقِهِ

More deserving is he who fulfilled his promise,

God's Caliph over His creation,

ومَن له أِرثُ نبيَ الهُدى

بالحقِ لا يُدفَع عن حَقِهِ

And he who inherited the legacy of the Prophet of guidance,

With truth his right cannot be denied,

يُنسب في الهَدى إلى هديهِ

بِرَّاً وفي الصدقِ إلى صدقِهِ

He is attributed with guidance to his guidance,

With righteousness and truthfulness to his truthfulness,

ومَن له الطاعَةُ مفروضة

لائحةٌ بالوحي في رَقَّهِ

And he to whom obedience is obligatory,

Evident in the revelation on its pages,

والراتقُ الفتقِ العظيم الذي

لا يقدر الناسُ على رتقِهِ

The seamless seal, the mighty cleft,

Which people cannot mend its tear.
