1. To you I confess my disgrace and sin
For with God, you are my sole recourse

2. And visiting Ahmed Al-Mukhtar's tomb
Would relieve my woes, if God wills

3. And if with my body I'm denied his visit
My heart's visit cannot be denied

4. So accept, O Messenger of God, from me
A believer's greetings, and love's guidance

5. I'll make my faith unshaking certainty
In the truth you brought, and my devotion

6. May love for you find home in my heart
And in your absence bring me nearer to you

7. I bear witness your religion's the best
Without doubt, your company the finest company
