The Beauty of Ali

O Lover of Allah, 

O Lover of the prophet, 

O Lover of the sajdah, 

O Lover of the ummah. 

Beauty was your love, 

Beauty was your courage, 

Beauty was your faith, 

Beauty was you, O Ali. 

You struck fear into their hearts

And put love into ours. 

One prayer of yours taught us taqwa, 

And a rukuu of yours taught us sadaqah. 

Your hands lifted khaybar, 

Yet they trembled in prayer. 

It's no surprise then that, 

In prayer is when the sword was struck. 

For no man could touch you in battle, 

So in sujood they tried to take your haq.
