1. To you, O Messenger of Allah, I have directed my purpose,
Though the journey to your tomb be far from my destination.

2. Does remembrance represent you before my eyes and thoughts?
And if I extolled you with praise, time itself became my reciter.

3. Did not the Wise Remembrance (the Quran) descend with your praise?
What then can my tongue dictate or my hand write?

4. Have not the heavens been keen to give thanks and praise?
Is not the distress of one who seeks guidance relieved through eloquence?

5. And good tidings to you, O Best of Creation, of abundant grace,
And a Fount of the gardens of Paradise, my place of drink.

6. Has it not come that you are a Messenger
From the Truth, with the manifest Truth, made a covenant?

7. And many verses of firm Truth
That give you a lofty, protected place of honor.

8. O Messenger of Allah! O Best of those who walked
The earth, bearing burdens on your back.

9. And most fulfilling of promises and treaties amongst mankind,
And most gracious to the one called to a gradual ascent.

10. By the right of Him who gave you what you rightly deserve,
And singled you out with the Wise Remembrance, glorified,

11. Intercede for Him until He relieves my hardship,
And hastens my aid and takes me by the hand.

12. For I have a pact, when I call upon Muhammad,
Even if, in my state, I am not with Muhammad.

13. And suffice for me, a prayer whose light fills the horizon,
And greetings of affection, soothing and gently flowing,

14. Upon you, in proportion to the rank rightly yours,
Before which all creation is humbled, from its recognized loftiness.

15. And upon your Companions, and those who followed them,
And those who hold fast to the handhold of your lineage.
