1. After praising the One who
Has blessed us with favors,
١. أَقُولُ بَعْدَ حَمْدِ مَنْ
طَوَّقَنَا بالْمِنَنِ
2. Praying and submitting
To the noble prophet from Medina
٢. مُصَلِّياً مُسَلِّماً
عَلَى النَّبي الْمَدَني
3. And his family and companions,
Who untie the knots of ordeals,
٣. وآلِهِ وصَحْبِهِ
حُلاَّلِ عُقْدِ الْمِحَنِ
4. No framework has come to us
Over the passage of time
٤. لَمْ يَأْتِ في الرَّمْزِ لَنا
عَلَى مُرُورِ الزَّمَنِ
5. On how to follow a path
In the clear ways and norms,
٥. كَيْفِيَّةٌ نَسْلُكُها
في واضِحاتِ السُّنَنِ
6. Because it is humility
Amongst the people of insight.
٦. لأَنَّهُ تَواضُعٌ
ما بَيْنَ أهْلِ الفِطَنِ
7. There is no duty upon us in it,
Nor adherence to norms.
٧. ما فيهِ تكْلِيفٌ لَنا
ولا لُزُومُ سَنَنِ
8. So what inscription and writing
Can one who is careful know,
٨. فأَيُّ نَقْشِ ناقِشٍ
يَعْرِفُهُ مَنْ يَعْتَني
9. That achieves the purpose of
Explaining what was not clear?
٩. يَقُومُ بالمقْصُودِ مِنْ
بَيانِ مالَمْ يَبِنِ
10. That is the drawing upon which
This matter has been built.
١٠. فَذَلِكَ الرَّسْمُ الذي
عَلَيْه ذا الأَمْرُ بُني
