Oh Sons of the Elect

Oh children of the Chosen one, you are my treasure,
Have mercy upon your servant, heal my broken state.
I have come to implore by Abu Bakr, 
and the one whose justice encompasses all existing,
And 'Ali, with whom Allah is well pleased, and the martyr 'Uthman.

Unite (us with) your love, oh you owners of rank,
Grant the gift of your affection, break my separation!
I have melted in love for you, and my patience is dissolved,
the estrangment within me a flame consuming sun and moon
Unite the desirous one, you endowed with 'Irfan!
