علي فاطر كعبة الله صياره

Ali split open the Kaaba of God as he passed through

علي بيده جنة الله وناره

Ali, in his hand are Allah's Paradise and His Fire

علي ما خاسر حرب بالحومة

Ali never lost a battle in the battlefield

بيه علامات النصر فقاره

Dhu al-Fiqar upon him bears the signs of victory

علي مولا

Ali, master

أسد يا داحي الباب

O Lion, O Uprooter of the Door

نخاك وآدم تاب

Adam called upon you, and repented

إذا طاريك انجاب

Whenever your name is brought up…

أظل هايم

I remain lost in love

شدهت عقول الناس

You captivated the minds of the people

جمالك ما ينقاس

Your beauty cannot be measured

يالمخلف العباس

O you who fathered Abbas…

گمر هاشم

The Moon of Hashim

علي مولانا، هوه الگلب سلطانه

Ali is our master, he is the sultan of the heart

خيمة وستر فوگانه

A tent and a covering above us

علي ويقضيها

Ali resolves it

كل شدة تعصي ويانه

Every hardship that proves too much for us

نركض ندگ بيبانه

We run and knock upon his door

علي بالمحشر شفيعنا حيدر

At the Gathering (Judgement day), Ali is our intercessor

حيدر يا علي مولانا

اسمك محلي الحچي الـبلساني

Your name sweetens the words upon my tongue

وأكثر من الدم مشه بشرياني

And travels through my arteries more than blood

حبك منسيني كل العالم

Your love has made me forget the whole world

حبك معيشني عالم ثاني

Your love has me living in another world

جمالك ما مسبوق

Your beauty has no precedent

ولا بإنسان مطروق

No human being has ever reached its like

No one resembling you was ever created

صدگ حيرة

Truly, it leaves the mind bewildered

Engraved above the Throne

يبخت الشافك

How fortunate is the one who has seen you

عينه شكثر مبخوته
