1. فمنْ كانَ لي لائماً فيهُمُ

    فإني أُحِبُّ بَني فاطِمَهْ

    So whoever would reproach me on their account—

    I do indeed love the children of Fatimah:

  2. بني بنْتِ مَن جاءَ بالبَيِّنا

    تِ والدِّين والسُّنَنِ القائمَهْ

    the children of the daughter of him who brought the clear

    proofs, the faith, and the enduring traditions.

  3. أبوهُمْ مُجَلِّي كُروبَ الحُروبِ

    وطَيرُ الوَغى بالضُّحى حائمَهْ

    Their father dispels the woes of war,

    while the birds of battle circle at midmorning.

  4. يَشُدُّ إذا ذَلَّ فُرْسانُها

    ويَحْمي وفُرسانُها خائمَهْ

    He charges when its horsemen are cowed,

    and defends while its horsemen shrink back.

  5. وتُفْتي بَديهَتُهُ بالصَّوابِ إذا

    ضَلَّتِ الأنْفُسُ العالمَهْ

    And his ready wit gives sound judgment when

    learned souls go astray.

  6. شُموسُ الهُدى ونُجومُ العُلى

    إذا دَجَت الفِتْنَةُ القاتمَهْ

    Suns of guidance and stars of eminence,

    when gloomy strife grows dark.

  7. وإنِّي لأرْجو بحُبِّ النَّبِّ

    وحُبِّهُمُ شَرَفُ الخاتمَهْ

    And I do indeed hope, through love for the Prophet

    and love for them, for a noble ending.
