1. Gaze at the horizon's stars in the night as they move,
Bringing joy to the heart and expansiveness to the chest,

2. And witness the beauty of the moon rising in the night,
For the radiance of its beauty is in the rising of the full moon.

3. Look closely at the flowers of the sky, for they
Blossom in the wings of night towards the rise of dawn.

4. They are but the full moon gathered together,
And not a star among them but the bright celestial one.

5. So let him who says the flowers of the sky are not the moon,
Leave him be, for the full moon is none other than the flower.

6. A brother of knowledge, a protector of virtue, a servant of wisdom,
With which insight surges like an ocean and virtue like a sea,

7. With the beauty of perfect grace and awe-inspiring beauty,
With the goodness of excellent manners flowing above it,

8. With the softness of fine morals and established glory,
The lineage adorned with the mantle of pride,

9. In a garb of brilliant traits shining praiseworthy,
With the goodness of attributes accompanying the loftiness of worth,

10. In a robe of piety whose newness does not fade,
Woven with sincerity in secret and openly,

11. He has perfumed the predawn hours with the scent of his affection,
And filled the circles of remembrance with the fragrance of praise,

12. He is the esteemed, the magnificent, the brilliant, brother of the wise,
Dispelling the veil of confusion from the beauty of thought,

13. He is the perfect, the exceptional, whose perfection
Surpasses the perfection of the full moon on the night of the full moon.

14. Muhammad, forever praised in time, is our way,
He is the intrepid, fulfilling one, and my intimate, the chaste.

15. Eloquent in speech, excelling in the wonders of rhetoric,
With which the very best of eloquence is confounded,

16. Were the clouds to hear the jewels of his words,
They would remain blind and deaf to prose and verse,

17. And remain reciting those jewels respectfully,
The Surah of Praise and Gratitude.

18. To him belongs self-respect, courageous, refined,
Who has made the world his carpet and himself its unique master.

19. So O Master, whose reputation is pure,
And who has contained goodness of conduct and secrets,

20. And assumed among the exalted the place of its head,
And between the hearts of the people the place of the breast,

21. To you I have gifted a fresh, brilliant pearl,
And a prime selection from among the prime, not to mention the finest,

22. A unique string of pearls, woven strands,
I have discounted the value of this precious jewel.

23. Bewildered in thought, and thought bewildered by it,
Revealing itself only to you in its bewilderment,

24. So accept it with acceptance, O brother of dew,
For that is in utmost need of acceptance.

25. And for one like you, acceptance is a matter of dignity,
For you see acceptance as a trait of the noble.

26. Remain in God's protection as long as a star shines,
And above the branch of the garden the moon glows.

27. With the tongue of fragrance, she expressed her praise
With the scent of the flower wafting over the garden of the Lord,

28. And not the opening, the opening of God, reciting,
Gaze at the horizon's stars in the night as they move.
