يا أَكرَمَ الخَلقِ عَلى اللَهِ

يا أَكرَمَ الخَلقِ عَلى اللَهِ

وَالمُصطفى بِالشَرَفِ الباهي

وَالمُصطفى بِالشَرَفِ الباهي

O noblest of creation in God's sight,

O the most virtuous of creations in Allah's sight

O most noble of creation in the sight of God,

And the chosen one, endowed with resplendent honor,

And the chosen one with evident glory

And the Chosen One of radiant honor,

مُحَمدُ المُختارُ مَهَما أَتى

مُحَمدُ المُختارُ مَهَما أَتى

مِن مُحَدثٍ مُستَفظعٍ ناهي

مِن مُحَدثٍ مُستَفظعٍ ناهي

Muhammad, the chosen one—whatever may come

Muhammad the chosen, whatever he brought

Muhammad the Elect, whenever there arises

By way of a new, dreadful, forbidding event,

Of the new and the frightful denier

A grave calamity, terrible and forbidding,

فَاِندُب لَهُ حَيدَرَ لا غَيرَهُ

فَاِندُب لَهُ حَيدَرَ لا غَيرَهُ

فَلَيسَ بِالغَمرِ وَلا اللاهي

فَلَيسَ بِالغَمرِ وَلا اللاهي

Then summon Haydar for it, and no one else,

So sing the praises of Haydar and none other

Then call upon Haydar for it, and no one else,

For he is neither inexperienced nor heedless.

He is neither negligent nor uncaring

For he is neither inexperienced nor negligent.

تَرى عِمادَ الكُفرِ مِن سَيفِهِ

تَرى عِمادَ الكُفرِ مِن سَيفِهِ

مُنَكَّساً باطِلَهُ واهي

مُنَكَّساً باطِلَهُ واهي

You see the pillar of unbelief, by his sword,

You see the pillars of disbelief from his sword

You see the pillar of disbelief, struck by his sword,

Cast down, its falsehood frail.

Broken, its falsehood feeble and weak

Overthrown, its falsehood weak and frail.

هَلِ العِدى إِلّا ذِئابٌ عَوَت

هَلِ العِدى إِلّا ذِئابٌ عَوَت

مَع كُلِّ ناسٍ نَفسَهُ ساهي

مَع كُلِّ ناسٍ نَفسَهُ ساهي

Are the foes anything but wolves that have howled,

Is animosity anything but wolves that have rebelled

Are the enemies anything but wolves that howl

With every heedless one who forgets himself?

With every vile soul its own ruination

At everyone who forgets himself and is oblivious?

سَيهزمُ الجَمعُ عَلى عقبِهِ

سَيهزمُ الجَمعُ عَلى عقبِهِ

بِحَيدَرٍ وَالنَصرُ بِاللَهِ

بِحَيدَرٍ وَالنَصرُ بِاللَهِ

The host will be driven back on its heels

The multitudes will be defeated in their heels

The multitude shall be defeated, turning on their heels

By Haydar—and victory is through God.

By Haydar, and victory is with Allah

By Haydar, and victory comes from God.
