In praise of 12 Imams (AS)

By: Maryam Mouzah

My heart is fine and bright with the love of Haider (AS)

Next to Haider (AS), al-Hasan (AS) is our Guide and Leader

The dust beneath the Shoes of al-Hussein (AS)

is the eyeliner (surmah) for my eyes.

Al-Abideen (AS), the ornament of all devotees

is like a crown on my head

al-Baqir (AS) is the light of both my eyes

The religion of Ja'far (AS) is true and the path of Musa (AS) is right

O, loyal, ones: listen to me praising the King of Kings, al-Ridha (AS)

who is buried in Khurasan

A particle from the dust of his tomb is the cure of all pains

Leader of men of faith is al-Taqi (AS), O dear Muslims

If you love al-Naqi (AS) in preference to all other people,

you have done the thing which is proper and right

al-Askari (AS) is the light of the eyes of both Adam and the world

Where can be found, in the world,

such a chief in command like al-Mahdi (AS)
