قَدْ زُرْتُهُمْ أَحْدَ الْأَيَامْ الله الله يَاقَومُ خَطْرَة

I visited them one day (Allah Allah) just once O People
I found them people of true love (Allah Allah) and they were always present

عُيُـونُهُمْ مُذَبَّلَةْ الله الله وَوُجُوة صُفْرَا
رُؤُوسُهُمْ مُشَعَّثَةْ الله الله وَشُعُورٌ غُبْرَا
‘Uyoonuhum mudhabbalah Allah Allah wa woojuh sufraa
Ru-oosuhum musha”athah Allah Allah wa shu’oorun ghubraa
Eyes that are humble and have not slept for days (Allah Allah) faces that are pale from fasting
Heads that are not combed (Allah Allah) and dusty hair

أَصْحَابَ الْعَهْدِ وَالْمِيثَاقْ الله الله نَظْرَة هَنِيَّه
بِالْمَوْلَى طَابَتِ الْأَذْوَاقْ الله الله لَيْلَة عَلَوِيَّة

(As for) the people who took their oath and covenant (with God), (Allah Allah)
gazing upon them is pleasure!
By our master (Ali) our taste has been refined (Allah Allah) a truly blessed night

​

قُلْتُ لَهُمْ نَدْخُلْ حِمَاكُمْ الله الله يَاذَا الْمَوَالَي
قَالُوا لِي تَقْبَلْ شَرْطَنَا الله الله وَالشَّرْطُ غَالِي

I begged: can you take me under your wing (Allah Allah) Oh my masters?
They said: you have to accept our condition (Allah Allah) and the price is high

تَصْبِرْ عَلَى مُرِّالْهَوَى الله الله بِالنَّفْسِ وَالْمَال
تَصْبِرْ عَلَى هَذَا الْغَرَامْ الله الله طُولَ الْلَيَالِي

Tasbir ‘alaa hadhal gharaam Allah Allah toolal layaali
Remain steadfast on the bitterness of love (Allah Allah) sacrificing self and wealth
Remain steadfast on this love (Allah Allah) throughout the nights

​

تُسْقَى كُؤُوساً مِنْ حَنْظَلْ الله الله وَالْمُرُّ يَحْلَا
حَتَّي يُمْسِي الْحَنْظَلُ عَسَلَا الله الله وَتَشْهَدِ الْوَالِي
Tusqaa ku-oosan min Hanzhal Allah Allah walmurru yaHlaa

You will drink very bitter drinks (Allah Allah) until the bitter gradually becomes sweet
Until the bitter changes character to honey (Allah Allah)
And you move beyond witnessing the protective friend

​

تُصْبِحْ سَبِيكَه مِنْ ذَهَبْ الله الله يَا مَنْ عَرَفْنَا

You will be cleansed by the chosen people (Allah Allah)
In the same neighborhood with us

​

يَا مَنْ يَلُمْنِي فِي الْحَبِيب الله الله اَلَّذِي شَاهَدْتُ
فِي الْقَلْبِ حَاضِرْ لَايَغِيب الله الله إِنْ غَابَ مِتُّ
