1. يا إماماً أطالَ رَبّي عُلاهُ

    وهُماماً بالفَخْرِ ما أوْلاهُ

    O imam, may my Lord prolong his eminence,

    and noble hero—how worthy he is of glory!

  2. أنْتَ كالرُّمْحِ في اعْتِدالٍ وطولٍ

    وانْتِخابِ الحَديدِ في أعْلاهُ

    You are like a spear in straightness and length,

    and in the choice of iron at its tip.
