ما استشرف الناس عيداً مثل عيدهمُ

مع الإمام الذي باللَه ينتصرُ

People have not looked forward to a celebration like their celebration

With the Imam who with Allah is victorious

غدا بجمعٍ كجنح الليل يقدمهُ

وجهٌ أغرُّ كما يجلو الدجى القمرُ

Tomorrow with a group like the wings of night he proceeds

A face brighter, as the moonlight clears away the darkness

يؤمُهُّم صادعٌ بالحقّ أحكمَهُ

حزمٌ وعلمٌ بما يأتي وما يذرُ

He leads them, a firm advocate of the truth

Wisdom and knowledge of what will come and what will pass

لو خُيِّرَ الناسُ فاختاروا لأنفسهم

أحظّ منك لما نالوه ما قدروا

If people were given a choice to choose for themselves

They would not attain a better fortune than you, even if they tried
