1. I set my course towards Muhammad's tomb
So my heart learns his praise and my tongue his eulogy

2. I blame myself, praise be to Allah, for neglecting him
My resolve now suffices after prolonged disgrace

3. I regret falling short when I was able
To seek a place near him that I might occupy

4. Misfortunes in my life hindered me from my wish
And I had no means to counter circumstances

5. The fires of yearning burned within my ribs
And I responded when the confidant called to me

6. The breeze of morn summoned me to Ahmad's grave
For remoteness from him wounds me

7. My inclination towards that noble one, though I did not stand
At his side beyond words devoid of meanings

8. I cast away such joys I once pursued
Since achieving them is impossible for me

9. I end my plea for pardon for my ignorant sins
With the Lord of the Worlds seeing me

10. Fear of the consequences banished sleep from my eyes
So Lord, grant me safety on the morrow
