1. My beloved ones, and love is its religion,
That turns the bitterness of passion sweet in its people.

2. We have related to you in the decisive verse,
That increases the lover's wonder for you.

3. Did the Chosen One ask for a reward,
For guiding his nation, except affection for his kin?

4. Oh stirrer of passion, set out towards Waset,
And disturb the caravan with your changing colors.

5. When you reach the beloved, be calm and take it easy,
Walk lightly, take off your shoes, and tread the path gently.

6. And when you arrive at dawn at Umm Obeida's abode,
Be well-mannered, break your fast, and overcome confusion with love.

7. And kiss the earth of my Master Ahmad's shrine,
The father of the two knowledges, help and grantor.

8. And convey my greetings to the meadows, for so much
I have poured my soul into its valleys in my youth.

9. The dwellings of my Master, whose secret traveled the universe,
With the perfume of guidance, encompassing East and West.

10. And fulfilled the responsibilities of truth as a master,
Of its masters, carried by inspiration and taking away.

11. And since becoming clothed in submission, he has subjugated
The non-Arabs and Arabs to his Creator.

12. An imam in the fashion of the righteous predecessors,
He set right conduct and knowledge.

13. And revived the path of truth after its decline,
And followed in the signs of His wisdom and books.

14. And ascended in the atmosphere of pride and majesty,
And made his position a lofty one with his Lord.

15. We have read the biographies of men, but did not find
Anyone similar to him among the people, neither help nor pole.

16. So by God, who can take his place in separation?
To him belong the most precious gifts for the Chosen One’s kin.

17. Yes, he is my master, ar-Rifa’i Ahmad,
Bulwark of the men of God, gentlest of heart.

18. My refuge, Abu al-Abbas, of the resolve that
Transforms the safety of a hostile tribe into fear.

19. Father of glory, nobility, and sublimity,
And most of the people of guidance's faction.

20. Yearning for him twists hearts to their Lord,
And his remembrance becomes a cure for their heedlessness.

21. And his signs are recited to every knower,
Who falls short of aspiring to their lofty level.

22. From him we have taken a leap of determination,
That kisses the vastness of his threshold.

23. He shook the mountains of the unseen with his resolve,
No wonder he shook hearts with his love!

24. Upon him, God's peace, for as long as the meadows roar,
A shaker, and my meadows yearn for him.
