This is the translation of Shams Tabrizi's QASIDAH to be recited. Shams Tabrizi says "I am a loyal cupbearer, the melody of my breathing is ALI, ALI.

I am a mystic with a pure heart, the melody breathing is ALI, ALI. I am a lover of ALI , the melody of my breathing is ALI, ALI. I am a musician with melodious voice, the melody of my breathing is ALI, ALI.

( O' Ali ) you are ADAM in mobility of nature, YUSUF in beauty, and KHIZER in Allah's path, the melody of my breathing is ALI, ALI.

You are the Lord of my exoteric path, you are the Lord of my esoteric path, indeed, you are my reality, the melody of my breathing is ALI, ALI.

You are from the same source as the Prophet, you have the power to cause the return of the sun and the moon, you are HUSSAYN's and HASAN's father, the melody of my breathing is ALI, ALI.

The generous Lord Prophet MUHAMMAD addressed you saying "O ' my cousin brother, you and I are of the same blood and the same flesh", the melody of my breathing is ALI, ALI.

( O' ALI ) the QUR'ANIC verse INNAMA (5:55) is your rope, you wear the crown of LA FATA, SHAMS is the servant of your servant QAMBER, the melody of my breathing is ALI, ALI".
