BY ALI SHAH

I am Ali the son of Abi Talib

The son in law of the Holy Prophet

I am feared by the enemy, both near and far

My sword, Dhu al-Fiqar, fully gripped, double-edged

My armour of loyalty, iron-thick, shining silk

For none except God and his Prophet

I am Ali, the mighty warrior

My virtues fill the night sky like the glaring stars

My sword strikes like lightning before thunder.

I am Ali al-Murtada, the chosen one

To whom the Prophet gave the banner

“Man Kunto Maula, fa hazaa Ali-un Mawla”

To whom I am the master, Ali is the master

And whom the Prophet praised

“Ana Madinatul ilmi wa Aliyun Babuha”

I am the city of knowledge and Ali is its gate

And whom the Prophet embraced

“Ali minni wa ana minhu”

Ali is from me and I am from him 

I am Asad’ullah, the lion of God

Whose bare hands plucked the gate of Khaybar

Even when outnumbered, I fought and triumphed.

Let Badr, Uhud and Khandaq be my witness.

I am Ali, commander of the faithful

The embodiment of bravery and resilience

The epitome of chivalry and Justice

Whose reign, met with the darkest of challenges,

Close up and at a distance, in the path of God

I am Mawla Ali, the warrior saint.

اللهم صل وسلم على محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين
