Ya Ali




When I was eternal I said: Ya Ali!

Forever, its reflection has become: Ya Ali!




I had being praised God in my heart,

I mentioned his name [instead]: Ya Ali!




I saw angels were drilling,

To mention on their tongues: Ya Ali!




Devourer"s faith will be weakened,

If any one in his(her) praying says : Ya Ali!




Will become immortal, if any one says:

From his (her) birth to death: Ya Ali!

در ازل بـودم کـه گـفتـم یـا علـی           تا ابـد شـد انعکـاسش یـا علــی 

 در دلـم تسبیـح یــزدان کـرده ام            بـر زبـانم گشتـه نامـش یا علــی

من مَلـَک دیدم که تمرین می کنـد          تـا بـیـارد بـر زبـانـش یـا علــی  

زاهـدان را رخنــه در ایمـان کـنـد           هر که گـویـد در  نمـازش یا علــی

جاوِدانی می شود آن کس که گفت          از تـولـد تـا ممــاتـش یـا علــی

یا علی یا علی یا علی

یا علی یا علی یا علی
