فی فضیلةامیرالمؤمنین علی رضی الله عنه / On the Virtue of the Commander of the Faithful Ali, May Allah Be Pleased with Him

Original content

خواجهٔ حق پیشوای راستین
کوه حلم و باب علم و قطب دین

ساقی کوثر، امام رهنمای
ابن عم مصطفا، شیرخدای

مرتضای مجتبا، جفت بتول
خواجهٔ معصوم، داماد رسول

در بیان رهنمونی آمده
صاحب اسرار سلونی آمده

مقتدا بی شک به استحقاق اوست
مفتی مطلق علی الاطلاق اوست

چون علی از غیبهای حق یکیست
عقل را در بینش او کی شکیست

هم ز اقضیکم علی جان آگه است
هم علی ممسوس فی ذات الله است

از دم عیسی کسی گر زنده خاست
او بدم دست بریده کرد راست

گشته اندر کعبه آن صاحب قبول
بت شکن بر پشتی دوش رسول

در ضمیرش بود مکنونات غیب
زان برآوردی ید بیضا ز جیب

گر ید بیضا نبودیش آشکار
کی گرفتی ذوالفقار آنجا قرار

گاه در جوش آمدی از کار خویش
گه فرو گفتی به چه اسرار خویش

در همه آفاق هم دم می نیافت
در درون می گشت و محرم می نیافت

English translation

The master of truth, the true leader, A mountain of forbearance, the gate of knowledge, and the pole of religion. The cupbearer of Kauthar, the guiding Imam, The cousin of Mustafa, the Lion of God. The chosen Murtaza, the spouse of Batul, The infallible master, the son-in-law of the Prophet. He has come for the expression of guidance, He has come as the possessor of the secrets of 'Ask Me'. Without doubt, leadership belongs to him by right, He is the absolute jurist in all respects. Since Ali is one of the mysteries of Truth, How can reason have any doubt in his insight? The soul is aware of 'The most judgmental of you is Ali', Also, Ali is immersed in the Essence of God. If someone rose to life by the breath of Jesus, He made a severed hand whole by his breath. That accepted one was born in the Kaaba, An idol-breaker upon the shoulders of the Prophet. Within his mind were the hidden things of the Unseen, Therefore, he brought forth the White Hand from his pocket. Had the White Hand not been manifest to him, How would Zulfiqar have found rest there? Sometimes he would boil over from his own work, Sometimes he would whisper his secrets to the well. In all horizons, he found no companion, He searched within and found no confidant.
