1. This is the greatest abode,
And the blooming garden wherein lies the pulpit,

2. And the exalted mosque whose niche
Ever boasts to the universe.

3. These are the goodly precincts of fragrant Al-Gharra
Wherefrom the aroma of musk and ambergris flows.

4. This is Al-Baqee and that is the noblest spot
Wherein the Family and Companions are buried.

5. This is the palm-tree land and that is the house of Al-Mustafa
Do you not see the lights manifest themselves therein?

6. This is the supreme, great place
Wherein Al-Mustafa was wont to meditate.

7. By God, this is a more sublime lodging
Unto which Gabriel would frequently descend.

8. This is the pure, well-mannered Messenger
Of lofty lineage, stock and parentage and of great purity.

9. He in whom all beauties are collected
So that perfection in him is complete and cannot be divided.

10. He whose hair has darkened the gloom of night
And whose face's brightness has lit up a brilliant dawn.

11. He whose cheeks are the garden of fragrant roses
And from whose mouth flows the Fountain of Kauthar.

12. He of the flowing locks, arched eyebrows and dark pupils,
Fair complexioned, rosy cheeked, glorious and blooming.

13. Pendant of cheek, slender of nose and graceful of stature
Which the slender one depicts through its delicateness.

14. He whose lips resemble carnelian
Wherefrom the jewel relates the story of his mouth.

15. This is the noblest of creation, the elite among creation,
The open-handed among creation- he has no peer to be observed.

16. He from whose light shone forth
The lights of this universe- he is the source.

17. He for whom laws were broken
In many a miracle unseen of any observer's eye.

18. For whose birth appeared wondrous signs
And great portents that dazzle minds.

19. He whose lights extinguished the lights
Of accursed Persia- miserable are those lights!

20. Since the light of Al-Mustafā shone forth
The palace of Chosroes has continued to crumble.

21. He who restored the sight of Qatādah
After blindness so that he saw sharply once more.

22. He whom God has praised
In His Revelation in many a verse that none can deny.

23. Concerning whom numerous verses
Between mankind were revealed- he is Al-Abtar (the Severed one).

24. For him the sun at daybreak was brought back
After its setting and the full moon was cleft asunder.

25. For him the wolf spoke plainly
As did the gazelle of yellow hue.

26. For him the forearm related what
It retained of the Jew's venom to inform.

27. In whose palm mute stones did glorify
Blessed indeed are those rocks!

28. He who satisfied a great army
With a few provisions- rather very few provisions!

29. He who quenched the thirst of Al-Khamīs by a single Sa'a
Of water whereupon he was sated by dates.
