1. إِنَّ عَلِيّاً وَجَعفَراً ثِقَتي

    عِندَ اِحتِدامِ الأُمورِ وَالكُرَبِ

    Indeed, Ali and Ja‘far are my trusted support

    when affairs and hardships rage.

  2. أَراهُما عُرضَةَ اللِقاءِ إِذا

    سامَيتُ أَو أَنتَمي إِلى حَسَبِ

    I see them both ready for battle whenever

    I vie for honor or claim noble descent.

  3. لا تَخذُلا وَاِنصُرا اِبنَ عَمِّكُما

    أَخي لِأُمّي مِن بَينِهِم وَأَبي

    Do not forsake him; support the son of your uncle—

    my brother among them, sharing my mother and father.

  4. وَاللَهِ لا أَخذُلُ النَبِيَّ وَلا

    يَخذُلهُ مِن بَنِيَّ ذو حَسَبِ

    By God, I will not forsake the Prophet, nor

    will any son of mine of noble standing forsake him.
