    أَسَّسهُ الباني وَكانَ يرفعُ

    This is a mosque whose structure stands upon piety.

    مُوَفّقٌ لِلخيرِ أَضحى يَجمَعُ

    He built it for God, the Generous, with sincere devotion.

    يَرجو الثّوابَ وَهوَ فيهِ يَطمَعُ

    Ali, the noble-hearted, lofty in aspiration.

    لِسانُ حالِهِ لَقَد قالَ اِسمَعوا

    So it became a mosque, gathering goodness.

    وَاِعتَكِفوا في كلِّ حينٍ وَاِخشَعوا

    Resolve to pray within me, and hasten.

    And observe devotional retreat at all times, and humble yourselves.

  6. وَالنّفسُ في الصّلاةِ أَرّخ جاهدوا

    يا أَيُّها الّذينَ آمَنوا اِركَعوا

    And strive against the self in prayer; record the date:

    O you who believe, bow down!
