1. كُل جود فَمن نَوال نداكا

    نور اللَه بِالجَمال حماكا

    All generosity comes from the gifts of your bounty.

    God illumined your sanctuary with beauty.

  2. كُنتُ للناس خَير هاد فَأَضحى

    كُل من ضَل يَهتَدي بهداكا

    You were humankind's finest guide, and so

    all who strayed came to follow your guidance.

  3. كنز علم وَرَحمة وَوَقار

    جمعت فيكَ وَالإِلَه حباكا

    A treasure of knowledge, mercy, and dignity—

    all were gathered in you, and God endowed you.

  4. كَم لَنا فيكَ نعمة وَنَوال

    أَحسَن اللَه يا نَبي جَزاكا

    How many blessings and gifts we have in you!

    May God reward you well, O Prophet.

  5. كَيف نَسطيع أَن نعد سَجايا

    ك وَفي محكم الكِتاب ثَناكا

    How can we count the virtues

    of yours, when the Book's clear text contains your praise?

  6. كثر المادحون فيكَ وَأَنى

    أَن يحيطوا بدرة مِن علاكا

    Those who praise you are many—yet how

    could they encompass a single pearl of your sublimity?

  7. كرم منكَ أن قبلت مُسيئاً

    بَقَليل مِن الثَناء أَتاكا

    It was generous of you to accept a wrongdoer

    who came to you with but a little praise.

  8. كُل من سوء فعله يَتَلاشى

    فَلِذا لِلَّذي دَهاه دَعاكا

    Everyone is undone by the evil of his deeds;

    so he has called upon you for what has befallen him.

  9. كَن لَهُ مِن حَوادث الدَهر حام

    وَشَفيعاً إِذا نَشَرت لواكا

    Be his protector against the calamities of time,

    and his intercessor when you unfurl your banner.
