[ قصيدة ـ ليس الغريب ـ للإمام السجاد عليه السلام بالإنكليزية ]
لَيْسَ الغَريبُ غَريبَ الشَّامِ واليمنِ إِنَّ الغَريبَ غَريبُ اللَّحدِ والكَفَنِ
A foreigner is not (a person who) the traveler to Damascus or Yemen, a foreigner is the one with an alien (no one comes to visit his) grave and shroud.
إِنَّ الغَريِبَ لَهُ حَقٌّ لِغُرْبَتهِ على الْمُقيمينَ في الأَوطانِ والسَّكَنِ
For a foreigner has rights, because of his alienation, on the residents of the homelands and the inhabitants.
لا تَنْهَرَنَّ غَريباً حَالَ غُربتهِ الدَّهْرُ يَنْهَرَهُ بالذُّلِ و المِحَنِ
Do not push away a foreigner in the event of his estrangement, time will do that to him with humiliation and adversity.
سَفْرِي بَعيدٌ وَزادي لَنْ يُبَلِّغَني وَقُوَتي ضَعُفَتْ والموتُ يَطلُبُني
My journey is far, and my provisions (rations) are insufficient, my strength has weakened, and death is seeking me.
وَلي بَقايا ذُنوبٍ لَسْتُ أَعْلَمُها الله يَعْلَمُها في السِّرِ والعَلَنِ
And I have remnants sins that I do not know of, Allah knows (when/what I did) them in secret and in public.
