أَحْبَبْتُ مَنْ وَالَى عَلِيّاً رَغْبَةً

أَحْبَبْتُ مَنْ وَالَى عَلِيّاً رَغْبَةً

فِي فَضْلِهِ وَكَرِهْتُ مَنْ عَادَاهُ

فِي فَضْلِهِ وَكَرِهْتُ مَنْ عَادَاهُ

I loved whoever was loyal to Ali, longing

for his favor, and hated whoever was hostile to him.

هُوَ ذَلِكَ الْحَبْرُ الَّذِي مَنْ أَمَّهُ

هُوَ ذَلِكَ الْحَبْرُ الَّذِي مَنْ أَمَّهُ

نَالَ الرِّضَا وَأُجِيبَ مَنْ نَادَاهُ

نَالَ الرِّضَا وَأُجِيبَ مَنْ نَادَاهُ

He is that learned sage: whoever comes to him

wins approval, and whoever calls upon him is answered.

وَكَفَى بِسِبْطَيْهِ إِمَامَا رَحْمَةٍ

وَكَفَى بِسِبْطَيْهِ إِمَامَا رَحْمَةٍ

نَالا مِنَ الرِّضْوَانِ مَا قَصَدَاهُ

نَالا مِنَ الرِّضْوَانِ مَا قَصَدَاهُ

And his two grandsons suffice, two imams of mercy;

both attained the divine favor they sought.

قَدْ عَزَّ مَنْ وَالاهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَفِي

قَدْ عَزَّ مَنْ وَالاهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَفِي

يَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ وَذَلَّ مَنْ بَادَاهُ

يَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ وَذَلَّ مَنْ بَادَاهُ

Indeed, exalted is whoever is loyal to him, in this world and on

the Day of Reckoning; abased is whoever openly opposes him.

فَاقْصِدْ لَهُ وَاعْرِفْهُ وَاسْتَمْسِكْ بِهِ

فَاقْصِدْ لَهُ وَاعْرِفْهُ وَاسْتَمْسِكْ بِهِ

تَلْقَ الْهُدَى وَكَفَى الْمُرِيدَ هُدَاهُ

تَلْقَ الْهُدَى وَكَفَى الْمُرِيدَ هُدَاهُ

So turn toward him, know him, and hold fast to him;

you will find guidance, and his guidance suffices the seeker.

وَإِذَا عَرَتْكَ مُلِمَّةٌ فَاهْتِفْ بِهِ

وَإِذَا عَرَتْكَ مُلِمَّةٌ فَاهْتِفْ بِهِ

تَسْمَعْ بِقَلْبِكَ حَيْثُ كُنْتَ صَدَاهُ

تَسْمَعْ بِقَلْبِكَ حَيْثُ كُنْتَ صَدَاهُ

And when an affliction befalls you, call upon him;

you will hear his echo with your heart, wherever you are.
