Are you aware of the honored guest?

And its people became enlightened with life

Good for all Muslims and more

And you point to him among the best of men

And your dwelling a garden and silk

8. Your planting in minds is fruitful
And your watering makes intellects shine

A burning sorrow in hearts remains

They follow your path of guidance and walk

For your heirs are many

12. Your breeze is a mercy from your Lord
And your drink plentiful contentment from His approval
