1. I vowed I would not weep over a perished one
After the Messenger of God, the best of mankind,

2. After the one who had been our guide
From a confusion that was and the darkness of night.

3. O you who conveyed to us news from his Lord
Among us, and O you who completed the night of perfection,

4. And guided people to righteousness,
And legislated the lawful and unlawful for them.

5. You are the one who saved us after
We were on the brink of a precipice.

6. So God took him when he fulfilled
His days at the advent of the doves.

7. And which people attained bliss
That lasted for them from the House of Ham and Shem?
