1. What good tidings have adorned the world with splendor!
Arise and congratulate the earth and the sky about it.

2. Its corners have been perfumed with its sweet scent,
And the breeze of its winds has fragranced the atmosphere.

3. It is a mission that Gabriel announced,
Calling out before this in the Most High assembly:

4. "The light has now been sent, that which
Will never fear extinction throughout time."

5. So congratulations! Goodness has been unlocked by the one
Whom the Merciful sealed as the last prophet.

6. And the most honorable messenger has come, whom
God specifically chose for conception and selection.

7. The master of all messengers, Ahmad,
The one through whom the remembrance came with praise.

8. A sent one who was born on a night
That was darkness for the world, but became radiance.

9. Blessed is the night whose morning
God unveiled the truth and removed the veil.

10. God adorned it with splendor,
It pleased the world with blossoming and sublimity.

11. Whenever it passes, it brings with its passing
The comfort of joy, abundance, and vitality.

12. And time began singing joyfully,
With charm, exuberance, and pride.

13. So let the brilliant nation celebrate the one
Through whom God perfected its structure.

14. And let it defeat through him the enemies of guidance,
And let the scholars boast today through him.

15. One with a sharpened blade through which the sky
Is irrigated, and clouds taught generosity.

16. His face made people gentle, until indeed
His humanity almost dripped water.

17. Through the light of his guidance and his face
People found their way to righteousness.

18. For he is God's shade on earth, over
The people of truth, with God's kindness their defender.

19. So it is enough for Hashim to boast
That she bore him for his merits as a vessel.

20. For through him the pride has reached its end today,
And for him is the pride, beginning and end.

21. He surpassed the people of religion in knowledge, piety,
Righteousness, chastity, and steadfastness.

22. He adorned Samarra though it was abandoned,
Complaining of the harshness of its inhabitants.

23. And its yards became friendly
When it was the loneliest place on earth.

24. Give life through him to the Most Noble tomb, and say:
May God increase you in splendor and loftiness!

25. You are but a rug for the Ahlul Bayt,
Through whom God made the sky as its ceiling.

26. Its towers do not contain the meteors within them
That surpass you in brilliance like faces.

27. The moons of guidance vanished into you,
And the sun came to you rising, offered as sacrifice.

28. You forever increase in the Highest abode in eminence
And prominence each time you are concealed.

29. Then call out to the Most High dome and say:
Rise up, O dome of the Guided One, to the sky!

30. With the glories of the Askari's, be resolute,
And add to its orbits an increase in loftiness.

31. And overcome the flowers of the Abode of Peace in brilliance,
For the world wept with no illuminator within it.

32. May God prescribe you an orbit, O hall,
Of my intelligence, a nobility surpassing brilliance!

33. And He planted for us one who
The absence entrusted us to during the occultation, an affliction.

34. God concealed through her the shining summoner
Who had been illumination for the eyes.

35. Through her the angels in His kindness
Descend to the world morning and evening.

36. Stop, and say with melting entrails,
And from the eyes, make them stream with tears:

37. O Imam of the age! It kills me with anguish!
It was the wasting disease with no cure.

38. We tried curing it, but besides seeing you,
We cannot find any remedy.

39. The responsibility of the Almighty is cleared
From people who through you have become disavowed.

40. So when will our burning innards cool down
That blaze the air with each breath?

41. And we see, O Upholder of Truth, your sword unsheathed
By God's hand, fully prepared!

42. Will we remain as you see us,
Spending the days and hoping with patience?

43. He who saw mercy from the Merciful rarely lied.
The soul is sacrificed for its Master.
