1. على آلِ الرسولِ وأقربيه

    سلامٌ كلّما سَجعَ الحَمامُ

    Upon the Messenger's family and his closest kin,

    be peace whenever the doves coo.

  2. أليسوا في السماءِ همُ نجومٌ

    وهم أعلامُ عزٍّ لا يُرامُ

    Are they not themselves stars in the heavens?

    And they are banners of glory beyond reach.

  3. فيا مَن قد تَحيَّر في ضَلالٍ

    أميرُ المؤمنينَ هو الإمامُ

    So, O you who have grown bewildered in error,

    the Commander of the Faithful—he is the Imam.

  4. رسولُ الله يوم غدير خُمٍّ

    أنافَ به وقد حَضَر الأنامُ

    The Messenger of God, on the day of Ghadir Khumm,

    raised him high, with the people already present.

  5. وثاني أمرهِ الحسنُ المُرَجَّى

    له بيتُ المشاعرِ والمَقامُ

    And second in his charge is Hasan, in whom hope is placed;

    his are the House of the sacred sites and the Station.

  6. وثالِثُه الحسينُ فليس يَخفى

    سَنا بدرٍ إذا اختلطَ الظَّلامُ

    And his third is Husayn: not hidden is

    a full moon's radiance when darkness thickens.

  7. ورابِعهمْ عليٌّ ذو المساعي

    به للدينِ والدّنيا قِوامُ

    And their fourth is Ali, a man of noble deeds;

    through him, religion and worldly life are sustained.

  8. وخامِسُهمْ محمدٌ ارتضاه

    له في المأثُراتِ إذاً مَقامُ

    And their fifth is Muhammad, whom he approved;

    for him, then, is a station among noble deeds.

  9. وجعفرُ سادسِ النجباء بدرٌ

    بِبهجتِهِ زَها البدرُ التَّمامُ

    And Ja'far, sixth of the noble ones, is a full moon;

    through his splendor, the moon in its fullness shone.

  10. وموسى سابعٌ وله مَقام

    تَقاصرَ عن أدانيهِ الكِرامُ

    And Musa is seventh, and his is a station

    whose lowest reaches the noble fell short of.

  11. علىٌّ ثامنٌ والقبرُ منهُ

    بأرضِ الطّوسِ إن قَحَطوا رِهامُ

    Ali is eighth, and his tomb

    in the land of Tus is gentle rain when they suffer drought.

  12. وتاسِعهم طريدُ بني البَغايا

    محمدٌ الزكيُّ له حُسامُ

    And their ninth is the one driven out by the sons of harlots—

    Muhammad the Pure, who has a keen sword.

  13. وعاشِرُهم عليّ وهو حِصْنٌ

    يَحِنُّ لِفَقْدهِ البلدُ الحَرامُ

    And their tenth is Ali, and he is a fortress;

    the Sacred City yearns for him in his absence.

  14. وحادي العَشْرِ مصابحُ المعالي

    منيرُ الضَوْءِ الحسنُ الهُمامُ

    And the eleventh, the lamps of lofty virtues,

    is Hasan the valiant, radiant in light.

  15. وثاني العَشْر حانَ له قيامٌ

    محمدٌ الزكيُّ به اعتِصامُ

    And the twelfth, whose time to rise has come,

    is Muhammad the Pure; in him is refuge.

  16. سيظهرُ عاجِلاً نُوراً خَفيّاً

    وينساقُ الأمورَ به انتظامُ

    He will appear soon, a hidden light,

    and through him affairs will fall into order.

  17. أولئك في الجنانِ بهم مَساغي

    وجيرتَي الخوامسُ والسَّلامُ

    Through those I have passage into the gardens of Paradise,

    and my neighbors are the Five. Peace.
