1. The moon in the sky told last night
That its light is from the sun

2. And so did the moons of earth, they confessed
Their lights are but embers of the sun

3. The mentor of the eminent lineage
Is attributed to Khaled, chief of Aus

4. Son of Al-Walid, the valiant matured
And grew ripe fruits from that root

5. A companion of the Prophet and zealous in guidance
Until he stood firmly upon its foundation

6. For that he chose his companionship
And made him intimate to the circles of affection

7. The shadow of God, desired for his reverence
By the kings of Rome and Persia

8. Continues the Lord of the Throne to endow him
With light, the Criterion, and the sun

9. And so too the shadow of God - his father
Of sound disposition and soul

10. God poured upon his soil, alive,
And quenched him with Kauthar of the Abode of Peace

11. And completed His blessings upon you with what
The Lord of the Throne and Footstool gave you

12. O you whose traits of praise are so subtle
They transcended thoughts and guesses

13. Your door has been circled by a pilgrim for whom it is his Kaaba
A pauper of your grace, hopeful for yesterday

14. The regions of the lands have turned him
To the expanse of refuge, not in retreat

15. You remain in eternal blessings
Rising and setting just as you have this evening

16. By Muhammad, best of creation, who
Spoke right, and his progeny, the brilliant

17. Neither did the stranger yearn for homeland nor
Did the dove sing sweetly with melody
