1. I have attached myself to the lineage of the Chosen One, praise him
What an excellent beloved, and what an excellent lineage and status!

2. I am a man who has filled his heart with love for him
So my heart is seized and pulled by love

3. My soul, my body, and all I have gained of vigor
I have dedicated to you, and this is but some of what is obligatory

4. He is the means and the greatest support for whoever
Seeks salvation, when hardships befall

5. This is the one who honored the world with his birth
And poured down the abundance of bounty, so rain poured down

6. And brought fertility to mankind after barrenness, and they suckled
The breast of purity, so barrenness and turmoil disappeared

7. On the night of birth and nativity, signs of truth appeared
Which foreigner and Arab saw

8. So the people of Sawa, their lake overflowed
And the arch of Kisra cracked, so it shook

9. And the fire of Persia from the signs of his birth
Turned to ashes, though before it blazed

10. And every eavesdropper, the meteors pelted with
Fire, so they did not return or come back again

11. And the idols became small with the infants in littleness
And the crosses and statues were smashed to pieces

12. So the times are in joy, and disbelief is in war
And the party of polytheism spent the night wailing

13. And Abraha was driven back with deceit and misguidance
The year of birth, and with rocks we repelled him

14. This prophet, the cosmos have been ennobled by him
And the Throne, the carpet, the angels, and the stars

15. He traveled from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque
Where the delegations of messengers were waiting

16. He prayed with them after they gave their greetings to him
For he is the source, from whom all are tasked

17. Then he ascended towards the Lote Tree of the Limit
In a distance of two bow lengths or nearer, with no veil

18. And he drew near, so he dangled towards his Master
While the angels remained below, veiled

19. He saw God with his own eyes, and he saw
What no mind can perceive, so no wonder

20. Neither where nor how can conceive this
This is the truth, no doubt or suspicion

21. Upon him, the Master enjoined the prayer, and from
That duty, he fulfilled might and purpose

22. And he returned to Mecca gladdened by seeing Him
And the night was still night, the dawn still veiled

23. Gabriel spent the night, and Michael served him
This is the might, not money or vigor

24. How many in Mecca rejected his words
And their leader said, "This is a lie"

25. And a group turned back from the path of Islam
But the victors overwhelmed them, though with guidance they were overcome

26. And after their aversion to him and their division
They returned, and by God's grace, we came to love him

27. This prophet, the stones spoke to him
This prophet, the scriptures gave good tidings of him

28. This prophet by whose way of life the stars
And planets moved, and sorrows and distress disappeared

29. This prophet, without whose prophethood
There would be no pillar or condition or cause

30. His light is the source in creation eternally
So everything in the universe stems from him

31. His message was a mercy for the creation
So all who come to water drink

32. When will I see him, and the ships carry me
Folding up the deserts in their hands and plundering them

33. From every plain they flow silently
With firewood on their backs, steadily marching

34. They stretch their necks marching quickly
Toward the beloved, and when they touch him, they grab hold

35. Yearning and love for the Guide and his benevolence
And shedding tears in longing as they draw near

36. Or I mount the steed of steamers going
Toward Medina, where might and purpose lie

37. Therein is the Prophet, and therein is every honor
Therein is felicity, therein is the elect company

38. Therein is the prophet of guidance, therein are his companions
What an excellent prophet, and what excellent companionship they had

39. There I will weep in awe of his majesty
With downcast eyes and pouring tears

40. And I will raise my hands beseeching
The Generous One, hoping for God's pardon

41. And I will kiss the soil from the threshold of his chamber
For its soil is the goal and quest

42. And I will ask the Chosen Guide for his intercession
For I have committed a grave sin

43. Perhaps the Pardoner's forgiveness may spare me
In a stance where there is no escape or flight

44. When I say, without blame or sin,
"I am saved," then no fear or terror remains

45. This is the might in the world and its dwellings
And the ultimate goal - this is the rank

46. Blessings upon him, whom He sent with the truth
As long as the wind blows and stirs the stalks

47. And upon his family, his companions and followers altogether
As long as the longing person yearns or the stars journey
