1. Praises in eulogy of the Prophet contained
Words for the understanding of devoted lovers.

2. Pure whites adorned with eloquence,
And pleasing, eloquent speech and writing.

3. Their nature stamped with a seal—recite them,
For their essence is finer in order than plaited palm leaves.

4. A good shroud wrapped the Prophet’s body and spread it out.
For him a spreader lies asleep, not cast down.

5. Through the long nights his newness does not wear away,
Nor does his coldness underground make him decay.

6. Going around the House of God, then to his tomb—
My heart present without steps or cuts.

7. The passing days of fate have tossed me about. Would that
They had drowned me and brought me out onto the shore!

8. The servant folded up on that path, lightening
Sins that weighed on him—they were covered by the heaviest cover.

9. The tyrants of the unbelievers beset Ahmad,
But the pens did not write, nor did the spearheads cut.

10. Daggers that stab him are followed by cavaliers’ swords.
What you willed of piercing, what you willed of cutting!
