1. Were it not for Muhammad, the stone of Ishmael
Would not have been a stone prepared for one with a stone
١. وما حجر إسماعيل لولا محمدٌ
تداركه حجراً معدا لذي حجرِ
2. And no wonder he revived it, for their lineage is one
Do you not see both are called Al-Muqri?
٢. ولا غرو أن احياه والعرقُ واحدِ
ألست ترى كلا يقال له المقري
3. You succeeded the Messenger of Allah, you Muhammad
And sprouted his son and grandson of good repute
٣. خلفت رسول الله أنت محمدُ
واَنبت ابنه وابن ابنه طيب الذكر
4. Oceans of knowledge which drowned the sea with their tide
So you dammed it back with islands, for fear of the land
٤. بحورُ علوم أغرق البحر مدها
فكفكفته بالجزر خوفا على البرِ
5. Thus for the sake of this land with islands, the best of them
Is Muhammad, and he is the sea known for its islands
٥. فمن أجل هذا البر بالبر خيرهم
محمد وهو البحر يعرف بالجزرِ
