1. I have a son whom I never disobeyed since I begot him
And there is no doubt about my devotion to him since he grew up
١. ولي ولدٌ لم أَعصِهِ مُذ ولدتُهُ
ولا شكَّ في بِرِّي به مُذْ تَرَعْرَعا
2. I chose him for the kingdom before he was weaned
And I gave him the world to suckle and nurture
٢. تَخَيّرتُهُ للمُلكِ قبلَ فِطامِهِ
وأقطَعتُه الدنيا فطيماً ومُرضَعا
3. So neither does the kingdom lack Mohammad as a pillar
Nor does he lack it, rather they are together thus
٣. فلا المُلكُ يخلو باعُهُ من محمدٍ
ولا هُو منه بل هما هكذا معا
