1. Your caller called you from the darkness of longing,
So the heart sometimes conceals it and sometimes reveals it.

2. And you wept, shedding the tears of the eyes in fear,
And you spent the night counting the stars.

3. I sent my poetry, verses adorned,
And I stayed up weaving whatever its rhymes poured out.

4. What do my poems offer to the one for whom I stood
Perplexed in describing its sweetest meanings?

5. Or what do I inscribe in it after the verses descended
Of your Lord, reciting them with glorification?

6. O master of the two weights, my thirst intensified for me
And hopes tortured the self with their wishes.

7. Do I have a drink from your pond, its fresh water?
For the one who reaches your pond has succeeded, and you are its drawer.

8. When I saw you in my dream giving me good tidings,
I congratulated myself, for my wishes had come true.

9. And I said, patience for myself after hearing
That all that is written will come to pass.

10. O mercy from your Lord the Merciful, He sent it
So one who hoped for it followed it.

11. And an invitation from the friend of Allah, he unleashed it
Honor its seeker, glorify its giver.

12. The day shone through you, enlightening
Whoever sets out hoping for the path of truth.

13. In an instance, history witnessed its splendor
So he bowed down in gratitude in its environs.

14. And the earth revealed the beauty of its adornment
Awaiting the mercy of a Lord whom you guide.

15. And the creatures bow down in the dress of gratitude
To Allah, your Lord, and hopes spur them on.

16. And the birds in its atmosphere sing a song
Whose rhythm is praise, and glorification follows.

17. And the beasts frolic in the wilderness assured
That He who originated the cosmos will suffice them.

18. And you are above the noble prophets to them
An imam of truth guiding to the virtues.

19. They put you forward by Allah's command when they knew
That you are the seal, the sent blend.

20. And where is the like of you that the guides are comforted by
When he disrobes for the Merciful, calling him?

21. So you precede every purpose of good
And you recite every verse of glory.

22. The Lord of the wilderness blinded their visions when
They plotted betrayal against him, and their efforts failed.

23. They did not deny you, but the guidance they rejected
Thus the envious malign the virtuous.

24. The palm tree leaned, and the sheep was milked
And the pebbles glorified in the name of their Hewer.

25. And the jinn were certain that destiny came to pass
With the greatest matter, so their towering ambitions collapsed.

26. They came to you listening to what they heard
Of your Lord's revelation, the Pardoner, the Guide.

27. Had the Creator not created the cosmos because of you
Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of the Throne, the Enumerator.

28. And in the testimony the name of Allah is connected
Glorify through it the greatest blessing its Giver conferred.

29. And your chest was split open for elevation and purification
For you are the purest and most righteous of those who attain it.

30. And you are the purest in lineage in its shadow
And you are the most generous of those who walk upon its earth.

31. And He protected you from the evil of what souls aspire to
For you do not aspire to anything that corrupts it.

32. That cloud, when it came shading him
Knew that this is the best of those in it.

33. Through him the fortresses of glory altogether flourish
And the honors through him complete their purposes.

34. Glory be to your Lord, who took you by night in a journey
So you traveled in a night in which history hurried after you.

35. And you reached the Lote Tree of the Terminus, attained its limit
While none of them has the audacity to aspire to it but you.

36. They knew you are not harsh among people
Nor angry when its calamities overflow.

37. And you do not get angry except for him whose
Favors were so great, and all creation knows them.

38. You saved a people nearing an evil ending
And you stood for the people in Allah's name, guiding them.

39. You erased from them the darkness of ignorance, so they turned
With a blessing from the Giving of Allah, benefiting them.

40. And Allah chose you unlettered, teaching them,
Having not read from books or been a reader.

41. And the rain poured among them after they despaired
Until the valley sought refuge from devils.

42. And water gushed from your fingers, pure
So it stood witnessing its far and near.

43. O son of the most virtuous ancestry, from loin to womb
The Merciful adorned it with purity, protecting it.

44. Through you the sun of peace rose
After the deviation of rebellion had almost extinguished it.

45. You established a just state, you are its leader
And Allah guides to it whoever attains it.

46. And the matter is consultation, and the eye of Allah watches
And you are the best guide when we follow it.

47. You are salvation for he whose ship strayed
When he clung to the name of Allah, guiding it.

48. And you are a shield on the day of turmoil that the knights
Of the people take refuge in when calamities afflict them.

49. You are the cure for a soul possessed by illness
And sin almost destroyed and corrupted it.

50. You extended your pardon on the day of victory, powerful
Though had you willed, killing would have swept those in it.

51. But you refused anything but benevolence accompanying him
An outpouring of pardon and forgiveness satisfying it.

52. You are merciful to them after what they did
And if you willed, they would have languished in its distant places.

53. After this, do people scheme any trait?
And who but you adorned its towering heights?

54. You are the intercessor when all are busy
With themselves, and the people's preoccupations distract them.

55. The God of mankind blessed you whenever
A sun rose and a guide traversed the celestial spheres.

56. This poem of mine, you are its goal
The sincerity in its composition, in Allah's name I gift it.

57. So accept, my ransom is your soul, you are its leader
To salvation, by Allah's command, its Creator.
