1. Relieve her, for the darkness has prolonged its effect on her
And untie her after the journey that exhausted her

2. And leave her bare bones and yearning
To a house where she hopes to meet it

3. Don't you see her whenever the zeal is mentioned
She stretches her necks out to it and her steps

4. And listens attentively to the singers' chants, satisfied
With that instead of pulling the reins to go back

5. Wandering, yearning, and longing are three things
That have wasted her flesh like arrows hitting their mark

6. Lines of caravans like mirages when they appear
To the arrows whenever she sees them

7. And the burning desire is like a mirage when it promises
To bring back to her the returning of the caravan

8. Ships floating in the mirage in a wavy sea
With waves whose ends cannot be seen

9. Thirst that cannot be quenched by the water-skins
Nor the echoing water that can diminish its echo

10. And none saw her except they took the news about her
With good news that makes me forget her coolness

11. I spend my time at the drinking places with the wine of wandering
And the cup of agony I have twisted and turned

12. As if branches in the mounts leaning towards her
Bewitched by the burning desire the bitterness of whose youth

13. When they descended on arid land, a lightning flashed
Subduing it with the rain of tears

14. They thought it was the fire of separation over the zeal
That appeared weak to them and its brilliance shone to them

15. And they wandered in the desert which guided them to it
To the house, when they lost its way and became confused

16. And its lights guide them like the stars in the sky
When they lose their way and cannot see the moon

17. When they see its flags, they put their cheeks
On the earth in prostration and their foreheads

18. Especially when they drew near it and saw
Its gardens and fell prostrating in prayer

19. And fear left them and their souls became happy
With the roses of trials after reaching their goal

20. And hopes bore fruit after being impossible
By fulfilling their wishes and their success was good

21. And they came to the door of peace and kissed
Its soil and called out greetings with their lips

22. And travellers circled it from every direction
When nearness to it made them forget status

23. And the sublimity of the site overwhelmed her so she could not endure
Except tears to convey her passion to it

24. And she felt a yearning that does not hide its disgrace
And intense longing that has no limit

25. And zeal for the best of all people in status
And greatest of them on Judgement Day in glory

26. Muhammad the caller to God and the one by whom
God guided creation

27. And he will be the first one raised from his grave
To ranks with God that He granted him

28. His great intercession to which I came to the world
Frightened by what alarmed and terrified it

29. A pool, as described in portraying his traits
From which his oppressed nation will drink

30. The scholars saw his traits before so gave glad tidings
To the mature world and its youth about his mission

31. And told them of his characteristics as if they
Saw them directly from him and observed them

32. And sincere souls among them believed him
Whom he forbade from corruption and they obeyed him

33. While stubborn souls among them knew
The certain truth but desires covered it

34. And the jinn's efforts failed the day he was born
From hearing his nation so his call was lost on them

35. And Chosroes' palace cracked and the fire was extinguished
And Sawa did not flood after holding back its water

36. Likewise, when Halimah suckled him, she saw
Blessing enter her home from him and grace

37. She had plenty of milk as she wished and her poverty ceased
And the women of the tribe blamed her condition

38. And the signs of prophethood came to him while a child
Surpassing the lands in intelligence

39. And Gabriel brought him the first surah
And told him "Read in His name," so he read it

40. And the Merciful sent him to awaken a nation
That had long remained in the darkness of misguidance

41. And the world was astounded by what his people were distinguished with
Of wisdom and guidance he was sent with

42. But they opposed him while he was truthful in their view
To let the days of stubbornness last long

43. The leaders whose righteousness God decreed responded to his call
And He inspired them to gain His guidance

44. Walking towards losing happiness is he who saw
The land of guidance but refused it

45. And his enemies were eager for the martyrdom
Of souls God loved and then met Him

46. And He supported them in their sacrifice for him in battle
With His supreme angels and repelled the enemies

47. And He showed them with the light of his miracles
Instances of guidance He predetermined and decreed

48. And through them He strengthened their piety and showed them
Its wisdom with visions that removed their veils

49. How many sublime traits that describing him with would mean
Eloquence would fall short, be incapacitated and unable

50. So alas for the inadequacy at all times
And alas for wasting my life, alas

51. Will He let me stand at the doors
Prostrating as long as stones? Or quench my thirst with his spring?

52. And kiss a ground ennobled because the feet
Of Prophethood walked on it in the past?

53. My mouth might take a place his mouth spoke in
If my soul attains that, it would suffice

54. And through this attain a status its rank
Would raise, for that to be its ascent

55. May He forgive if I slip,
And if I fear the hot springs, protect me

56. And even if I do not justify my love by meeting Him
And even before my death, I do not want survival

57. But it is led by weakness and frailty
To the misery of its condition and its waning

58. I hope in God – there is no despair with God – that He
Will let my soul attain its goal

59. And fulfill what I hope for through his status with Him
And heal souls and whoever turns to Him

60. And I meet Him melting, my colours
Changed by the riding beasts at every stage

61. And even if my soul goes for its poverty’s need
Through his status is its richness on Judgement Day

62. Peace be upon him, however much a person
Speaks with the verses of guidance and recites them

63. And the sun of daytime shines in its sky
And the full moon appears in nightfall and follows it
