1. The caravan was disturbed by the clamor
The ferocious lion had disappeared into its lair

2. Master of the two realms, our Sayyid al-Rifa’i
And whoever moans for him, the wailings echo

3. He has a rope from the Master of the Ascension
With it to the horizon, his ascension was completed

4. His noble virtues in the wilderness
Have a scent in every corner

5. And the Kaaba of his integrity from every side
Is circled by the pilgrims

6. By Allah, his great character
Rose high as if it were a blossoming meadow

7. And his courtyard is a sky of glories
In its essence are lodged constellations

8. And how many ascended the glories through him
And crooked people straightened with his guidance

9. His noble miracles are manifest
Exalted is his might by the Highest Companion

10. He has wisdom in subtle words
Through them the sea of his wonders surges

11. Vast in knowledge, none can compete
And how can the Gulf compare to an ocean?

12. The envious aspire to be his equal
But their quest to surpass him is confined

13. Indeed, these stars have a whiteness
And where is their whiteness compared to snow?

14. The lion is wary when called while secure
Against the swords and armor of its attacker

15. Oh son of the Messenger, and towards whom but you
Does our passionate desire kindle?

16. We call upon you for care, so turn
To a people determined yet anxious in refuge

17. And consider, for the generous one in any case
Is accustomed to revisiting enduring hopes
