  1. أَرياح نجد تممي الهابا

    وَتقطعي طرق الحجاز ذهابا

    O winds of Najd, complete the kindling [wording uncertain],

    And traverse the roads of the Hijaz, outward bound.

  2. وَصلي مسيرك بالاصائل وَالضحى

    لتعود روح العطف منك ايابا

    And continue your journey through late afternoons and the forenoon,

    So that a breath of compassion may return from you, homeward.

  3. فَعَساكَ ان تصلى بلاد محمد

    تجدى رياضا بالوفود رحابا

    So perhaps you may reach the land of Muhammad,

    And find gardens spacious for visiting delegations.

  4. حيث المظلل بالغَمامة وَالَّذي

    ملأ الزَمان هداية وَصوابا

    Where dwells the one shaded by the cloud, the one who

    Filled the age with guidance and right judgment.

  5. لمى به وقفي قبالة وجهه

    واستأذنيه وبلغيه خطابا

    وأذابَت الجسم الضَعيف فذابا

    She breathed upon him the heat of Hell's fire,

    And melted his frail body, so it dissolved,

  8. حَتّى اذا لم تَبقَ من أَعضائه

    الا عظاما قد وهت واهابا

    Until, when nothing remained of his limbs

    Except weakened bones and skin,

  9. ناداك مرتجيا بجاهك عطفة

    يا خير من سمع الندا فأجابا

    He called upon you, hoping through your standing for a kindly turn.

    O best of those who heard the call and answered!

  10. يا صاحب الجاه العَظيم لمثلها

    أَحسنت ظني في الزَمان فحابا

    O possessor of great standing, for a trial like this

    I thought well of time, but it did me wrong.

  11. قم بي وَبالمرضى فجودك عارض

    ما زالَت المَرضى اليه عيابا

    Stand by me and the sick, for your bounty is a raincloud,

    To which the sick have never ceased [returning].

  12. فَلَقَد جَعلتك في الخطوب وَسيلَتي

    ان نابَني زمن قرعت البابا

    For I have made you my means of appeal in calamities;

    If time assails me, I knock at the door.

  13. قل أَنتَ في الدارين منا لا تَخف

    من بعدها يا صاحب النيابا

    Say: You are one of us in both worlds; do not fear

    Thereafter, O possessor of [fangs; reading uncertain].

  14. أَنتَ الَّذي جو الجنان بجاهه

    وَنجاور الولدان والاترابا

    You are the one through whose standing [we hope for] Paradise,

    And to dwell beside the youths and companions of equal age.

  15. مني السَلام عَلى المقيم بطيبة

    من طاب من خبث العيوب فَطابا

    From me, peace upon the one dwelling in Taybah,

    Who was pure of the foulness of faults, and thus was good.

  16. وَحمى حمى الاسلام واتبع الهدى

    وَتجنب الازلام والانصابا

    And guarded the sanctuary of Islam and followed guidance,

    And shunned divining arrows and idol-stones.

  17. وَدَعا الى الدين الحَنيف بسيفه

    فغدت رؤس المشركين جوابا

    And called to the upright faith with his sword,

    So the polytheists' heads became an answer,

  18. من بعد ما جحَدوا جلالة قدره

    سفها وَقالوا ساحرا كَذابا

    After they had denied the majesty of his rank,

    Foolishly, and called him a lying sorcerer.

  19. فسل المشاهد وَالثغور من الَّذي

    هزم الجيوش وَشتت الاحزابا

    So ask the battlefields and frontier posts who it was

    That routed the armies and scattered the allied factions?

  20. ومن الَّذي طمس الضلال بسيفه

    وأعاد عامره المنيع خرابا

    And who blotted out error with his sword

    And turned its thriving, impregnable domain to ruin?

  21. يا أَكرم الكرماء يا أَعلى الورى

    شرفا وأمنع ذروة وَجنابا

    O most generous of the generous, O highest of creation

    In honor, and most unassailable in summit and precinct!

  22. أَنا عبدك الجاني حججت وَلَم أَزر

    ولئن عتبت فَما أُطيق عتابا

    I am your sinful servant; I performed the pilgrimage but did not visit you.

    And if you reproach me, I cannot bear reproach.

  23. وَلئن صفحت فشيمة نبوية

    شملت عَلى عبد أَساء فَتابا

    And if you pardon, that is a prophetic trait,

    Embracing a servant who did wrong, then repented.

  24. لَم ألف غيرك من أَلوذُ به اذا

    مكر الزَمان وَقطع الاسبابا

    I have found none but you in whom to take refuge when

    Time plots and cuts off all means.

  25. فاخفض جناحك لي وَكن يد نصرتي

    ولمن يَليني نسبة وَصحابا

    So lower your wing to me, and be a helping hand for me,

    And for those close to me in kinship and companionship.

  26. وَعليك صَلى اللَه يا علم الهُدى

    ما ارفض منسجم الغمام وَصابا

    And may God send blessings upon you, O beacon of guidance,

    As long as the clouds' streaming rain gushes and falls,

  27. وَعَلى صَحابتك الَّذين تشرفوا

    وَسموا عَلى شهب السما احسابا

    And upon your Companions, who were ennobled

    And rose above the shooting stars of heaven in nobility.
