1. An arrival from my father Musa al-Humam
And a delegation of honorable Ash'arites

2. A return of an expat yearning for home
Who cast off to reunite with loved ones

3. Escaping with his faith desiring his Lord
Whose Messenger established the religion of peace

4. O Musa, good tidings and welcome
To your company in the sanctuary of the best of mankind

5. You found every generous loved one
True to their covenant with the trustworthy protector

6. And attained from their home what you sought
So is there after that any other pursuit?

7. When people's hearts are serene
They are cured of the plague of bitterness

8. The realities of things wander in them
Some seals break open, some remain enclosed

9. And awakens them when existence slumbers
No longer distracted by the dreams of sleepers

10. To faith and the lofty wisdoms
Ancestry with you is of highest prestige

11. The truest of witnesses sincerely
And the most eloquent speaker of transmitted words

12. O Musa you embarked to a status
That tries the souls of those with great ambitions

13. And succeeded in gaining an undeserved life
That nothing but hated death can take away

14. The system of religion and life completely
And is anything without a system?
