1. The prophet of guidance, sent from the family of Hashim
Poetry and prose compete in describing him

2. He ascended on the night of Ascension to the utmost height
Beyond the comprehension of the brightest stars

3. He saw then, by God's decree and revelation
Glories beside which all other glories fade

4. I have accepted him as my master, affiliating with him
So if I am called his servant, I am free

5. Kind, merciful, magnanimous, benevolent
Great, so he has no confusion or arrogance

6. He saw the full moon; the light of his radiant brow
No wonder the moon split in rage against him

7. God struck down the religion of the idolaters with his religion
So Islam was established and unbelief destroyed

8. The determination of his faith hoisted its banner
Triumph and victory match it in his party

9. The pillars of the tyrants of unbelief were demolished by his mission
So no trace remains, neither rope nor pole

10. Through him I hope for what he deserves in the Resurrection
If this be true, there shall be neither fear nor dismay
