1. بباب به الأملاك حطت رحالها

    أحط بأنواع الخضوع رحالي

    At a gate where the angels have set down their baggage,

    I set down my baggage with every form of submission.

  2. نعم هو باب المصطفى سيد الورى

    وحسبي به مولى يقوم بحالي

    Yes, it is the gate of the Chosen One, master of creation.

    And he suffices me as a patron who tends to my affairs.

  3. لقد ضاق ذرعي والمصائب أقبلت

    على وضيق سد رحب مجالي

    Indeed, my endurance has failed, and calamities have come

    Upon me, and distress has blocked my wide field of action.

  4. وليس لمثلي مجرم ومقصر

    كثير الخطايا بالعوارض سالي

    And there is none for one like me—a sinner who falls short,

    Abounding in sins, heedless amid passing concerns—

  5. سوى تاج هام المرسلين محمد

    رسول الرضى الحمال للأثقال

    But Muhammad, crown of the messengers' heads,

    The messenger of divine favor, the great bearer of burdens.

  6. أناجيه أبغي الفوز منه وإنني

    بسطت لعلياه أكف سؤالي

    I commune with him, seeking salvation from him; and indeed I

    Have stretched out my pleading palms toward his exalted station.

  7. ولذت بسامي ظله وهو لاخفا

    وسيلتنا العظمى إلى المتعالي

    And I sought refuge in his lofty shade; he is, plainly,

    Our greatest means of approach to the Supremely Exalted.

  8. عليه صلاة اللَه ما لاح كوكب

    بموقع برج في المواقع عالي

    May God's blessing be upon him as long as a star gleams

    At a constellation's station, high among the stations;

  9. وآل وأصحاب كرام وآلهم

    فهم خير أصحاب وأكرم آل

    And upon his family, his noble companions, and their families,

    For they are the best companions and the noblest family;

  10. وأتباعهم ما قلت من فرط ذلتي

    أحط بأنواع الخضوع رحالي

    And upon their followers, whenever, in my utter abasement, I say:

    I set down my baggage with every form of submission.
