يا عَلِيُّ يا اِبنَ الخَلائِفِ وَالمُح

يا عَلِيُّ يا اِبنَ الخَلائِفِ وَالمُح

تَلَّ مِن ذُروَةِ المَعالي اليَفاعا

تَلَّ مِن ذُروَةِ المَعالي اليَفاعا

O Ali, O son of the caliphs, and you who occupy

O Ali, O son of the Caliphs and the slain

the lofty heights at the summit of glory,

You have reached the pinnacle of greatness unfurling

هاكَ فَاِسمَع مِنّي دُعاءَ وَلِيٍّ

هاكَ فَاِسمَع مِنّي دُعاءَ وَلِيٍّ

مُخلِصٍ في وَلائِهِ ما اِستَطاعا

مُخلِصٍ في وَلائِهِ ما اِستَطاعا

take this, and hear from me a loyal friend's prayer,

Hear my prayer, O guardian sincere

sincere in his devotion to the utmost of his ability.

In his allegiance as much as he was able

أَنتَ إِن حاوَلَت مُناواتَكَ الأَن

أَنتَ إِن حاوَلَت مُناواتَكَ الأَن

واءُ أَندى كَفّاً وَأَرحَبُ باعا

واءُ أَندى كَفّاً وَأَرحَبُ باعا

You, even if the rains should seek to rival you,

If hardships attempt to touch you

are more bountiful of hand and broader of reach.

The most generous hand pushes them back

لَم تَزَل تَدفَعُ الحَوادِثَ عَنّا

لَم تَزَل تَدفَعُ الحَوادِثَ عَنّا

أَحسَنَ اللَهُ في عُلاكَ الدِفاعا

أَحسَنَ اللَهُ في عُلاكَ الدِفاعا

You have never ceased to ward calamities off from us;

You continue to ward off events from us

may God defend your exalted rank well.

May God make your advocacy ever triumphant

وَهَناكَ الزَورُ الجَديدُ وَلا زا

وَهَناكَ الزَورُ الجَديدُ وَلا زا

لَ يَرى أَمرَكَ الزَمانُ مُطاعا

لَ يَرى أَمرَكَ الزَمانُ مُطاعا

And may the new guest bring you joy, and may

And lies newly arise but still

time ever see your command obeyed.

Your command is not seen by time as obeyed

إِلفَةٌ لَم نَزَل تَمُدُّ إِلى أَن

إِلفَةٌ لَم نَزَل تَمُدُّ إِلى أَن

أَحكَمَتها الأَيّامُ كَفّاً صَناعا

أَحكَمَتها الأَيّامُ كَفّاً صَناعا

A bond of affection, ever growing between us, until

A camaraderie we have not ceased to

the days perfected it with a skillful hand.

Strengthen over days a hand assembled

ما رَأى الناسُ قَبلَها في اللَيالي ال

ما رَأى الناسُ قَبلَها في اللَيالي ال

بيضِ لِلشَمسِ بِالهِلالِ اِجتِماعا

بيضِ لِلشَمسِ بِالهِلالِ اِجتِماعا

Before it, people had never seen, on bright nights,

Never before have people seen in the white nights

the sun in union with the crescent moon.

Except the sun meeting the crescent

فَاِبقَيا لا رَأى لِشَملِكُما الحُس

فَاِبقَيا لا رَأى لِشَملِكُما الحُس

سادُ ما اِمتَدَّتِ اللَيالي اِنصِداعا

سادُ ما اِمتَدَّتِ اللَيالي اِنصِداعا

So live on, you both; may the envious never see your union

So you two remain, never has your unity’s radiance

sundered, as long as the nights endure.

Faded however long the nights stretched fragmented
