I claim kinship to you in naming myself

ولي إليك انتسابا بتسميتي

1. I claim kinship to you in naming myself
Muhammad, a name not to be scorned,

١. ولي إليكَ انتساباٌ بتسميتي
محمداً وذمامٌ ليس يُختَفَرُ

2. And I have the honor of dwelling in the places
Where Your Throne and Footstool are to be spurned,

٢. ولي جوارٌ بأعتابٍ حَلَلتُ بها
فعندها العرشُ والكرسِيُّ يُحتَقَرُ

3. And I have poems praising You, informing me
That through You have I attained triumph and conquest,

٣. ولي مدائحُ في علياكَ تخبرُني
بأنّها نالها من سَبيكَ الظَفَرُ

4. And I have epistles on the virtue of praying for blessings upon You
And peace, of which they have made mention,

٤. ولي رسائِلُ في فَضلِ الصلاة علي
ك والسلامِ وما في ذاك قد ذكَروا

5. And all of them, O Messenger of God, I have placed before
My troubled soul, that they may receive Your pardon and rain down upon me,

٥. وكلها يا رسول اللَه بين يَدَي
نجوايَ قدمتُها للعفو تمتَطِرُ

6. So look upon one who has sought refuge prostrate at Your door,
And hearken unto him, and shelter him, for he is in need of shelter.

٦. فانظر لمن لاذ بالأبواب مُطَّرَحاً
واسمَع لهُ وأجِرهُ إنه وجِرُ
