1. They are the loved ones, whether they are unkind or fair,
I have no substitute for them even if they are unfair,

2. And everything other than them is worthless to me
Compared to them, and I have no substitute for them apart from them.

3. Even if they tempted my liver with their love,
I remain loving them, content with what they have done.

4. I drank the chaste cup of passion thirstily,
And my delight was honey and drink in passion.

5. If only I knew, while the world separates
Friends, and the days of life change,

6. Will the house return friendly after absence?
And will our first days return to us?

7. O those who pierced my heart wherever they pierced,
And dwelled in my heart wherever they dwelled,

8. Be gentle with a heart that went to you when passions left with the camels.
By Him whose House the pilgrims circled,

9. And who calls and implores when afflicted by it,
Your love certainly flowed like my blood, so my blood

10. After separation remains at your ruins.
I did not forget the night I left the comrades when

11. They avoided bidding farewell to the loved one and moved on.
When they saw a fire at Dhi Salm,

12. They went on, and were cut off from it while connected to it.
The mounts do not know where they are going

13. If they do not stop where the mind cannot bend.
In a garden of the gardens of Paradise I rejoiced,

14. Beautiful, and the dwelling in it was sweet.
Where his prophethood has its pavilion pitched,

15. And the light rises shining in the horizons,
And where the existence was ennobled by God through him,

16. So virtue overwhelmed uniquely what equals him,
Muhammad, master of masters, from Mudar,

17. The secret of secrets, a sun that has no peer,

18. The birds of glory nestle in his meanings,
And the branch of his kindness is fresh and lush.

19. The verses glorify him whenever they are recited,
As the regions and roads were illuminated by him.

20. A sea whose depth knowledge cannot plumb,
And a full moon in the celestial sphere.

21. He continued with light from loins to womb
Passing from ancestors to masters through the ages,

22.
Until he reached the last of Hashim and Samaa

23. A youth, infant, loyal, fully grown.
So in existence there was no shape to compare him by,

24. Nor do horizons encompass one like him.
Through him the straight path fixed its foundations,

25. Balanced above the stars and the way made clear.
From him the banner of praise shelters us

26. When rebels, shadows envelope them.
He is the just arbitrator whose religion

27. Abrogated creeds and faiths with its nation.
O best one whose tomb perfumed the mighty earth,

28. From his scent the plain and mountain turned fragrant.
My soul be sacrificed for the grave you inhabit,

29. In it is guidance, dew, knowledge and deed.
You are the beloved we hope for kindness from

30. At the narrow bridge when the rope grows taut.
We hope for your great intercession for our sins,

31. Through your splendor our lapses are forgiven.
My master, O Messenger of God, take my hand

32. In all conversation I had no precedent for.
They said your protege does no harm, yet here I am, exposed,

33. My blood and honor violated, protection abandoned.
He who is named for you, distress has intensified for him,

34. So have mercy on the tears flowing down his cheek.
And untie the knot of sorrow from him, never ceasing,

35. And reassure through him a chest, its heart distraught.
Join in mercy Abdel Rahim and whoever follows him, hopes in you never dashed, nor expectation failed.

36. Bless and salute, my Lord, forever, eternally,
Upon you O best of those who are covered and wrapped.

37. And upon the Family and Companions as long as
Caravans continue and generations come one after another.
