1. Your excellence has become apparent, O finest of people and descendants,
So it has become for us fragrance, musk, and ambergris.

2. I say, as my tears flow copiously,
O children of Ahmed, the best of Allah among all people,

3. Peace be upon you whether we are present or absent.
You have illuminated all creatures with your blessings,

4. And honored the world with your sublime mystery.
The regions of the universe have been scented with your pure diffusion,

5. You have purified so we became pure through your abundant purity,
And you have been wholesome, so from the traces of your wholesomeness we became wholesome.

6. When can we be satiated, after longing, by meeting you,
And our souls be illuminated by the light of your splendor?

7. Pray for us, for we are among the beautiful of your guidance,
And we have inherited, from our forefathers, the covenant of your allegiance.

8. And we, when we die, will pass it on to our children.
