1. The universe shone with vitality and bliss,
This is your place, so make it generously grand.

2. Time yearned for you until you came to it,
So it folded up longing and echoed peace.

3. You are the hope of nations, and this is
Your world that desires none but you as its leader.

4. Take it from the tyrannical people who corrupted it
And pave for them the path of righteous life.

5. Heal the malady, for it has exacerbated and twisted,
The medicine of the predecessors has failed and become unwell.

6. To meet the greatest of its elders with education.
What knowledge and guidance have you brought

7. When you carried its inscribed book?
The science of civilization was hidden before you

8. Then you came to reveal its concealed secret.
Indeed, the preachers did not know its path

9. Until you established its demolished structure.
Convey the message of the One who made you a guide,

10. And granted you abundant grace from His side.
Those who rejected Him took partners

11. With their lords as adversaries.
What are these lords? Their worshippers

12. Are ignorant of the One God, eternal and everlasting.
The trusted, truthful guide has come, so one who

13. Disbelieves in God's religion has been unjust.
The hearts of the polytheists trembled at a call

14. That began to echo defeat in the lowlands.
They said, "Does Muhammad hope to misguide

15. Our sound minds and good judgements?"
"Shall we dishonor and debase

16. What our glorious ancestors honored long ago?"
"We disdain to have our religion changed

17. By a man of little wealth who grew up an orphan."
"If the weak souls follow his path

18. Then we are the strongest fortress and sanctuary."
"When a builder relies on men, he appoints

19. The pillars as chiefs and dignitaries."
They antagonized him but he became even stronger,

20. More honored, and nobler, with the highest abode.
They found him gentle, forgiving the sinner's trespass,

21. And saw him as most clement and forbearing.
He prays for them, "My Lord, guide my people for they

22. Do not know," and You have been All-Knowing.
Had You willed, they would not have ignored the path or accepted

23. A despicable, reprehensible religion.
"I am Your messenger. I will not stop striving against them

24. Until they relent or I become perished."
"O my people! Consider what you worship

25. Before you see the painful torment."
"Is the religion of idols, which is a sin of yours,

26. Better for you than the religion of Abraham?"
"I have been sent with the upright way of Islam

27. And dispatched for the good of all people universally."
Unbelief and vile corruption have both Made life a hellfire on the souls.

28. So I will surely cleanse the land of its filth
And demolish its accumulated darkness.

29. They sent his uncle to him, hoping to extinguish
His ambition with disappointment and deprivation.

30. They alleged he was aflame with desire
For the life of deviance and its poisoned chalice.

31. He said, "Calm yourself, uncle. Beyond them is
A predicament too heavy for souls."

32. "Even if they put fires before me, I would only
Increase in firmness and determination."

33. "By God, they will find no compromise in me
Until they relent or I become ruined."

34. They recognized him and so set out to harm him
And conspired against him, ominous and ill-omened.

35. They banded together, justifying killing him,
A killing they saw as a destined decree.

36. Oh what misery their misguided view brought!
They sought blood that was divinely protected.

37. They blamed him and turned to their devil,
Who passed judgement for them, rejected and outcast.

38. Would one who detests misguidance for his people
And is loyal to the Lord of all worlds be blamed?

39. God supported him and aided him,
So he was saved and their multitude defeated.

40. Blessed are you, as a loyal companion to him,
And blessed are you, sincere intimate friend.

41. The lifeblood and God protected his life,
And the hoped-for peace of souls went safely.

42. He who left the homes in migration,
Filled souls with anxieties and worries.

43. They dispatched tongues and swords after him,
But he returned them flowing with blood and wounds.

44. They came back disappointed, melting their assumptions,
Melting thereby the souls and bodies of them.

45. What does the corruptor think of the reformer
Who builds and destroys, assailing and fixing?

46. The traveling star in its horizons
Filled the lands with crescents and stars.

47. The supporters of God's religion around their prophet
Joined the tied rope in Medina sincerely.

48. Whether Khazrajite glory or Ausite nobility
They were sublime branches and lofty heights.

49. Love the newcomer who is peerless
In those arriving as guests and settling.

50. O opener of the world and grantor to its people,
No wished-for matter was difficult or denied.

51. You saved this land from its sorrows,
And healed this distressed world.

52. With the lucid cures against blindness,
So darkness cannot prevail or clouds can surge.

53. God sent them to you asarmor,
Beacons of guidance and traditions emerged.

54. You were given the Criterion, a canon of wisdom,
Which you continued to impart to fervent souls.

55. The wisdoms of the age have deviated,
And its sages missed the paths of integrity, yet it remains wise.

56. Without its eloquence and excellence of composition,
Men would be ignorant of the composed pearl.

57. A treasure of rhetoric - so whoever seeks wealth,
If he seeks other than it, lives deprived.

58. The sciences of time branch out from it,
And tomorrow even more of the reserved will pour forth.

59. Ever renewing in every age, seeking
New nations coming with insights and knowledge.

60. A constitution of truth in Muhammad's right hand,
Protecting the weak and aiding the oppressed.

61. The exalted Master cajoles His servant through it,
And the ruled ruler fears it.

62. It divided life among souls, even if one who
Does not wish for his allotted share refuses.

63. God did not create the strong in his dominion
To be vicious in temperament and tyrannical.

64. The earth was not spread out to cover up its Lord,
And extend the injustice of servants eternally.

65. O birth of the Chosen One, you have revived it -
A memory debating my repressed tears.

66. I weep for Islam as its glory fades
And it remains folded in, diminished.

67. The nations of earth arose raising their glories
While I see the Muslim nations sitting submissively.

68. They clung to the edges of their homes, and their conquerors
Will not accept anything but celestial spheres as their frontiers.

69. A people who have taken each place
As a cave covering their slumber and poverty.

70. Or whenever a Mas'ab pulls the reins in the East,
His nose is cut off, broken and vanquished.

71. My God, distance us from ignorance and guide us
To this known, marked path.

72. Take charge of us in events, and be with us
In adversities when they afflict, Most Merciful.
