1. The garden's morning breezes brought to us
A gift of gentle, modest messengers

2. The sea's mist sailed to visit us
Bearing gifts of pearls, a welcome visitor

3. A gift from one generous, it came to us
Deserving of honor and esteem from one who values

4. Our Lord of poetry gifted it to us
As clouds gift us the rain's downpour

5. Mohammed the wise, valiant, famed
For his kindness among nomad and settled alike

6. In his refined gathering, knowledge for one who seeks
In his epistles, pride for one who boasts

7. Vast of arm, immense of reach, mighty
Attained its mysteries by the Grace of the Almighty

8. As if the Nile in flood and ampleness
But its course is pure, without turbidity

9. Quick of gesture, his secretary frees the parchment
To reveal the ink in its utmost splendor

10. Pens glide across the pages in his hand
Joining with excellence white and black

11. I drew from a sea of knowledge billows that swelled
Nearly drowning me in their danger

12. The verses plunge in it with us
Not from boards and books but from restraint

13. Greetings to a radiant visitor who descended
And settled in the heart, raised upon thrones

14. Revived the heart's Moses so I said to him
You have attained your request O Moses, as ordained
