1. Leave the sorrowful one to his own sorrow
His heart has melted in his regrets

2. And leave him to sink in the deeps of his tears
And sighs to rise up from his lamentations

3. Have mercy on him, have mercy if his affliction overwhelms you
For enduring pain is the purpose of his existence

4. You are not to blame, neither the sorrowful one, nor his affliction
For all are driven by their own intentions

5. Do not excessively reproach him
For reproach makes him more distraught

6. Every questioner has an answer, and passion
Has cast him into the abyss of his love

7. If you were to taste a sip of his love
You would excuse him and accept his desire

8. The disobedient is not devoid of fidelity, but rather
Disobedience in this and obedience in that are among his qualities

9. O you whose heart was always held captive
Basking in pleasure, captivity being its delight

10. The sweetest passion assails him wandering
And its cure, in love, is his tranquility

11. Who would blame the enamored if he weeps
Pining for his darling's past companionship?

12. His life with them is like his articulated wishes
And his death with their union like his life

13. By my soul, the friend I bade farewell
My tears and his tears streamed down his cheeks

14. Changing at the farewell, my ardor for him
Almost burst forth from my sobbing

15. The passion consumed me as fuel, and desiccated me with it
Leaving me roasted on its embers

16. Speak to me gently, prepare for us
A conversation adorned with its instruments

17. Are his gazelles still "hinn hinn" as we knew them?
For our hearts are captives of their tender gazelles

18. And how excellent were the breezes of a beloved land
That wafted its perfume early in the morning

19. My love transcended a gazelle's love for her fawn
And I loved her for the sake of Mohammed and his grace

20. She is a gazelle purified by his blessed life
Noble, and distinguished by his excellent death

21. The Chosen One, the Guiding Prophet, greater than one
Who stepped on pebbles walking upon his services

22. The Seal of Prophets and the Noble Messengers, and foremost
In merit, preceding them in his fine traits

23. In the books of Seth were described his attributes
And in the books of Idris the brilliance of his features

24. And in the scriptures of Abraham the greatness of his worth
And the Psalms of David in his recitations

25. And by his grace the Bible came distinctly
And Moses called him the Immaculate in the Torah

26. Likewise the Criterion manifested his merit
In everything explicitly stated in its verses

27. Jesus named him and called him "Taahaa"
While the Sublime called him from his chambers

28. And he was gentle with him before rebuke
And showed him what was hidden in the hearts of his enemies

29. And God warned him when the arrogant of Mecca
Gathered in their attacks against him

30. Among them were my father and al-Mugheera, then Abu
Jahl and Iblees, brothers of damnation

31. Some suggested killing him, imprisoning him
One suggested exile, another isolation

32. The Trustworthy descended from the heavens in ascension
To Mohammed with the entirety of his hatred's provisions

33. The Trustworthy said to him: Set out for Yathrib
So leave by night and travel quickly through its plains

34. And head for the Helpers, they are your partisan tribe
Who will suffice you against Abu Talib and his defenses

35. And you will enter Mecca despite the nose
Of al-Mugheera and the peak of its mountains

36. So he traveled, with Abu Bakr second to him, to
The Cave of Thawr where they entered its crevices

37. And Abu Bakr tore his garment in fear
For the life of the Chosen one at his fingertips

38. And the sons of Nadr set up their homes at its entrance
With spiders nesting high up on its doorframe

39. Until the enemy despaired of kind Yathrib
Heading purposefully to fulfill their intentions

40. The clans of Aus met him, then the Khazraj, the summit
Of the generous, guarding his banners

41. How many times did they renew allegiance to him through it
Before the revelation, when he met them during his retreats?

42. And through them the Almighty opened Mecca
In the name of the Prophet, following his blessings

43. Glory to Him who traveled by night with him to
The Farthest Mosque, climbing up its degrees

44. And the angels of the Merciful traveled around him
With light illuminating the horizon on all sides

45. O night of ascension, happiest night
When the Prophet attained his goals through it

46. And he returned victorious, the sword blackened
Fulfilling his purpose, granting demands

47. So he drew the sword of guidance from its sheath
And spilled the blood of the aggressor with its blades

48. Until polytheism lay shattered and demolished
Alas! No longer any strength left in its joints

49. And Yaghooth, its eagle, and Ya'ooq were left
Smashed to pieces by the teeth of his spearhead

50. Among the miracles of the Chosen one, some were from
His proof, features, and attributes

51. The palace fires of Persia subsided at his birth
And the temples collapsed from their towers

52. And his wet nurses' evidence suffices -
His wives' and grandmothers' suckling of the infant

53. For Haleema had suckled him beforehand
Her breast was barren before its pressing

54. The milk flowed such that he suckled her breast
Pure, abundant, and delicious in his gulps

55. The provisions of Haleema's family multiplied
Eastwards through him, by his blessings

56. And when he reached virility, fully grown
The Trustworthy descended to him in his solitude

57. And showed him a sign from His Lord
And showed him what his times would entail

58. It suffices him as an honor that the Chosen One
Gabriel serves him obediently

59. And for him the moon split with his gesture, and the gazelle
Suckled him, and the camel acknowledged him as its master

60. And a cloud shaded him after the mirage
Danced deceptively across the surfaces of his abode

61. And the people, when destruction came to them from thirst
In a waterless desert across its expanse

62. He made water flow with the strike of his palm
From it they drank, and all their vessels were sated

63. And he invoked against the companions of the elephant until
Its pillars collapsed from some of his invocations

64. And among the obscurities of his knowledge
He asked an old man about his verses

65. The old man's ears had never heard
His secret compositions and hidden arts

66. Regretfully, his grandson did not grant him
His due rights, of his self or expenditures

67. The Prophet even said to his son:
"Stand, for your father's provisions are scarce"

68. And how many a sign I have not enumerated
Beyond counting, more than its sands can be counted

69. But how could I praise him, when God has already
Praised him with merit in His verses?

70. There is no chapter but that his mention is great in it
Thus his remembrance spread in its passages

71. But I am pleading through my eulogies
Hoping for his intercession and excellent prayers

72. And when the sinner panics and seeks refuge in the benefactor
Hope informs him of the excellence of his salvation

73. Fair hope led me, and my expectation led me
I hope for his abundant gifts

74. And I stood at his door, and I descended
From the ascent of his sanctuary, and lodged among his chastities

75. And my hope is that I will not be deprived at the hand
Of the Holder of the two abodes, the day I arrive at his courtyard

76. My Master, O Master of all the lands
Be kind to a servant who did evil in his penitence

77. And for long strayed in his passions
Basking in them, in his doubts

78. I cast aside disobedience this morning, hoping
To be saved, and raised from my lapses

79. May Allah bless him from the Enshrouded One
And upon your two companions, abundantly

80. And all your family, and the companions whenever
One praised his Creator at the Mount of Mercy
