أُثني عَلى ابنَي رَسولِ اللَهِ أَفضَل ما

أُثني عَلى ابنَي رَسولِ اللَهِ أَفضَل ما

أَثنى بِهِ أَحَدٌ يَوماً عَلى أَحَدِ

أَثنى بِهِ أَحَدٌ يَوماً عَلى أَحَدِ

I praise the two sons of God's Messenger with the finest praise

I praise the two sons of Allah's Messenger with the best praise

that anyone has ever bestowed upon another:

With which anyone has ever praised anyone

السيّدَينِ الكَريمَي كلِّ مُنصَرفٍ

مِن والدَينِ وَمِن صِهرٍ وَمن وَلدِ

مِن والدَينِ وَمِن صِهرٍ وَمن وَلدِ

the two lords, noble on every side,

The two noble masters, every affiliated one

through both parents, kin by marriage, and offspring.

From parents, in-laws, and children

ذُرِّيَّةٌ بَعضُها مِن بَعضِها عَمِرَت

ذُرِّيَّةٌ بَعضُها مِن بَعضِها عَمِرَت

في أَصلِ مجدٍ رَفيعِ السَمكِ وَالعَمَدِ

في أَصلِ مجدٍ رَفيعِ السَمكِ وَالعَمَدِ

Descendants sprung one from another, who have flourished

A lineage, some of which from some of it lived

at the root of glory, lofty in roof and pillars.

In an origin of glorious high column and pillar

ماذا بَنى لَهُم مِن صالِحٍ حَسَنٌ

ماذا بَنى لَهُم مِن صالِحٍ حَسَنٌ

وَحَسنٌ وَعليّ وَاِبتَنوا لِغَدِ

وَحَسنٌ وَعليّ وَاِبتَنوا لِغَدِ

How much good was built for them by Hasan,

What good did the righteous Hasan build for them

and Hasan and Ali—and they built for the morrow!

And Hasan and Ali constructed for tomorrow

فَكَرَّمَ اللَهُ ذاكَ البَيتَ تَكرمةً

فَكَرَّمَ اللَهُ ذاكَ البَيتَ تَكرمةً

تَبقى وَتَخلُدُ فيهِ آخِرَ الأَبَدِ

تَبقى وَتَخلُدُ فيهِ آخِرَ الأَبَدِ

So God honored that house with an honor

So Allah honored that house with an honor

that endures and abides there to eternity's end.

That remains and eternally endures in it

هُم السَدى وَالنَدى ما في قَناتِهِمُ

إِذا تَعَوَّجَتِ العيدانِ من أَوَدِ

إِذا تَعَوَّجَتِ العيدانِ من أَوَدِ

They are dew and bounty; in their spear-shaft,

They are the breeze and dew, in their spears

when other shafts bend, there is no crookedness.

If the poles were bent from softness

مُهَذَّبونَ هِجانٌ أُمَّهاتُهُمُ

مُهَذَّبونَ هِجانٌ أُمَّهاتُهُمُ

إِذا نُسِبن زلال البارِقِ البَرِدِ

إِذا نُسِبن زلال البارِقِ البَرِدِ

Refined and pure-bred are they; their mothers,

Well-mannered, passionate, their mothers

when their ancestry is traced, are the clear water of a cold, lightning-bearing cloud.

When attributed to the flowing cool lightning

بَينَ الفَواطِمَ ماذا ثَمَّ مِن كَرَمٍ

إِلى العَواتِكِ مَجدٌ غَيرُ مُنتقدِ

إِلى العَواتِكِ مَجدٌ غَيرُ مُنتقدِ

Among Al-Fatima, what then is there from generosity

and the Atikas lies glory beyond reproach.

To Al-Awatik, glory other than that which is flawless

ما يَنتَهي المَجدُ إِلّا في بَني حَسَنٍ

وَما لَهُم دونَهُ مِن دارِ مُلتَحدِ

وَما لَهُم دونَهُ مِن دارِ مُلتَحدِ

Glory culminates only in the sons of Hasan,

Glory does not end except in the sons of Hasan

and apart from it they have no house of refuge.

And they have no home besides it with connected land
