A greeting as sweet as musk, your eloquence

سلام طيب كالمسك صائك

1. A greeting as sweet as musk, your eloquence
Upon the famed world and those who dwell there

For facilitating the difficult paths

على تيسيره صَعْبَ المَسَالِكْ

Arts none but the perished attempted before

فنوناً غير صاحبِهنّ هَالِكْ

Who seek to attain the best of them

لَهُمْ في نَيْلِ أَفْضَلِهَا مَدَارِكْ

And the learned, like you, are worthy of that

Calling out 'O God, bless!'

ينادي بالدُّعَا الَّلهُمَّ بَارِكْ

The bliss of connection from constant love

سُرُورُ الوَصْلِ من حبّ مُتَارِكْ

And your goodness in existence, peerless

وَحُسْنَكَ في الوجود بلا مُشَارِكْ
