Though the Prophet's companions are all light and guidance,
each one travels his own separate road toward the next world.
But Ali, the honored king of men,
is a road that runs straight all the way to God.
Explanation: Ali is called «shah-e mardan», the king of men, a traditional honorific for Imam Ali.

اصحاب پیمبر ارچه نورند و هُدا
هر یک سوی آخرت رهیاند جدا
لیکن شه مردان علی عالیقدر
راهیست که راست میرود تا به خدا
