1. إنّي أُقمت لدينِ الله أنصره

    والنصرُ منه كما قد جاء في الكتبِ

    Indeed, I was appointed to champion God's religion,

    And victory is from Him, as has been stated in the books.

  2. لأنني حاتميُّ الأصلِ ذو كرمٍ

    من طيء عربيِّ عن أبٍ فأبِ

    For I am of Hatimi lineage, endowed with generosity,

    Of Tayy, an Arab through father after father.

  3. ورتبتي في الإلاهيات يعلمها

    ما نالها أحدٌ قبلي من العربِ

    And my rank in divine matters—He knows it—

    No Arab before me attained it,

  4. إلا النبيُّ رسولُ الله سيدُنا

    وراثة للذي عندي من الأدب

    Except the Prophet, God's Messenger, our master,

    By inheritance, owing to the refinement I possess.

  5. وإنني خاتم الأتباعِأجمعهم

    أتباعة رتبة تسمو على الرتب

    And I am the seal of the followers, all of them—

    His followers—a rank that rises above all ranks.

  6. من جملة القومِ عيسى وهو خاتم من

    قد كان من قبله حياً بلا كذب

    Among the company is Jesus, and he is the seal of those

    Who lived before him—this is no lie.

  7. وفي شريعتنا كانت ولايته

    دون الرسالةِ لما جاء في العقب

    And in our sacred law his sainthood was

    Below messengership, when he came at the end.

  8. فنحن من كونه في الأمر تابعه

    بمنزلِ العالمِ العلويّ كالأشهبِ

    So we, because he is his follower in this matter,

    Stand at the station of the upper world, like the gray-white one.
