1. Muhammad, his deeds abundant, his prohibitions plenteous,
His favors copious, his virtues sublime,

2. Faces shine in his presence,
Like lightning flashes in the darkness of night.

3. Lofty is his glory, exalted his worth,
Skillful is his speech, prolific his pen,

4. Valiant if calamities descend,
Articulate if adversaries contend.

5. Shunning the abode of disgrace, his place
The abode of the noble and glory always,

6. He is a towering mountain in his patience
And composure, a sword if he is resolved.

7. The stars are humbled by his loftiness,
Before Abu Ja'far the high-aspiring,

8. And dawn wishes from his brilliance
A radiance to banish the wings of darkness.

9. O minister whose hours were filled
With clamor and dearth, valor and generosity!

10. He who prays devoutly to God, if
His ambitions are fulfilled, is never cast down.

11. Happy the fast and what follows it,
Which guided the journey of the standard forever.

12. Through you in lengthy survival secure,
Beyond it misfortune, blind and deaf.
