1. Love came gently into my thoughts like a nightingale
Oh love, be gentle with the nightingale in my thoughts

2. And passion tore my limbs and left me in darkness
Oh, if only it had advised me to be gentle

3. The forms of passion played tricks on me in sorrow
And reason was confined in its forms

4. And from its play it was as if I were obsessed
With making the name an imperative among verbs

5. The heart's comfort and sleep in serenity
And longing and tears in abundance and dishevelment

6. A house whose half is for prayers and mine
That half is theirs and this half is mine

7. If an asker asked what is this infatuation under trial
Then I am neither an asker nor asked

8. I love not the crazed love of Ghaylan and her death
Nor crying over a picture and ruins

9. No, and not Layla Al-Amiriyya either
Or Qays's madness for her in the empty abode

10. Nor the obsession of Kathir with Aziza when
He praised her with a perfect camel among camels

11. Nor the love of beautiful Jamil for Buthayna
In it no anguish from a heart or anklet

12. Nor the flirtation of gazelles whose dark beauty
Attracted from those does, the one who strays and is lost

13. I am going on pilgrimage to Mecca
Oh, if only I would go like a fleeing fugitive

14. The fresh water did not torment after the salty water so
The water of ath-Thayb overflowed the meadows copiously

15. Ask about the heart, ask if you pass by it
And does asked see a questioner by asking?

16. Or settle on someone if you find no one
And smell it, you will find in it a soothing mind

17. Or settle on Taibah, surely you will see in it
Oh my longing and destination of my hopes

18. How sweet is love after indifference and how
More delicious is partaking it at night spreading tails

19. Yes, and how beautiful it is on the night of the full moon when
The moon rises or in the first gleam of the crescent

20. Alas! I have no ecstasy from the love of a singer
Nor a sleepy and tired Huyafa

21. Nor paralyzed scattered lips
Nor languorous eyes, nor riding a camel litter

22. And a mole on the beautiful cheek - how many
A lover whose obsession was the mole

23. Nor standing at the first quarter nor crescent moons
Inclined in the horizon, bent sideways

24. But I, lost in the love of Ahmed, do not incline
To other than him and he is not in my mind

25. I am dissolved in love for the beloved of the Prophet and whoever
Other than me is either praying or reciting

26. Oh you who tempted me to love him
So increase or decrease temptation in him

27. In loving him I have no peer to resemble me
In loving him, I am devoid of forms

28. All youth is part of loving him
Rather, anything else is imaginary and fake

29. There is no beauty but from his beauty
And no longing or love but to him

30. If you wish then separate or collect in his praise
Its separation and collection both fault you

31. Pure white are the meadows of his nobility built on
Opening as they necessitated in the end

32. No prayers that go astray in their perplexity
And no misguided outcasts and misguidance

33. Say that he is singular in every virtue
And leave what has been said and told besides that

34. Do not compare the Prophet to any superior in knowledge
Nor compare his superiority to any esteemed one

35. The value of his family is not like the rubbish nor
Is the letter 'sheen' analogous to 'daal' in the ranks of number

36. If the praisers exaggerated in praising him
His glory and nobility would not increase

37. Like the sun - if they exaggerated the light of its rising
The light of dawn would not increase from it and the times of rising

38. And no one mounted the heights and ascended
Except for him who has an equal among equals

39. The spirit of existence and Allah's chosen one
Among worlds, the crown of the Noble Messengers

40. Muhammad, secret of the whole universe, its spring
At your door I have unloaded the burden of burdens

41. My Muhammad, love and state bear witness for me
And the most truthful witness is the witness of the state

42. Help, help O Messenger of Allah, your slave
O you who are above every place, his throne is high

43. You are too great to leave the guilty slaves in vain
Too great in the corners of disregard and neglect

44. He sees you as his paradise in every affliction
And his fortress against all harms

45. The terror of life, the terrors of death and what
Terrors and horrors are after death

46. Pass by us with ease, not difficulty
While we are in serenity and good tiding of prosperity

47. No fate or rank comes down to us
Our state is filled with wishes, you are the guardian

48. You are the aid, aid, you are the aid, aid
And relieve the hardship, my state is strained

49. Oh God, Oh God, look upon us always
And the Muslims, and our homes quickly

50. O You Who has been called with the might of pride
And O Lord exalted in subjugation and majesty

51. O You who answers the call of one who calls upon You
And O He Whose command is "Be" between "O" and "Allah"

52. So be, my God, for the one who seeks and recites it
And fulfill their needs, my Lord, easily

53. And allow Ahmad to fulfill our needs
And what we hope for of wishes and hopes

54. Upon him from me, endless prayers
Please him with prayers, and the companions and family

55. I commenced with complete perfumed greeting
And it is not perfected with limiting and completing
