1. With praising the Messenger I raise my worth
And hope by composing his virtues to shed my burden

2. He whom God has granted sublime traits
Is free from any prose or verse

3. It suffices him what God revealed to him
Of praise from people and gratitude

4. It is the habit of lovers to be infatuated
With mentioning the beloved which infatuation drives

5. And when longing summons them to his door
Across every land and sea

6. They find him pleasing and meet their ends
Anytime between dawn and dusk

7. They take shelter in passion during hardship
With yearning that melts the ember’s heart

8. And are illuminated in their dark night by the beauty of fervor
Thus they become like orbiting stars

9. And rise between burning anguish tearing up the soil
And tears flowing down the cheeks

10. And when nearing the heavenly oasis they see
The one who made the domes bloom to blossom

11. And the herald of reunions welcomes them
With acceptance flowing near dawn

12. And the fragrance of the garden between the most pure
Pulpit in our world and the noblest grave

13. Blessed is that noble stand
That purchases its day with all life

14. Where glory manifested and they lowered themselves to the ground
To perform the prostration of gratitude

15. Then they stood facing the one whose shade
Shades people on Judgement Day

16. His majesty confined their praises
To pouring out what pent up sorrows lie in their chests

17. Then they carried out what brings triumph and nearness to him
Upon them from vows

18. And they dwelled in safety had fear not drove
The caravan leader to flee in panic

19. The closeness of proximity did not diminish the rift of distance
Until the hands of parting dispersed them

20. Each pilgrim then returned from his door
With the most generous boons

21. The most noble of people hoped from him
The honor of the wealthy through giving like the destitute

22. Thus they gained acceptance from him despite leaving
In pride and most beneficial provisions

23. And put on the garb of content after leaving him
Stripped of the clothes of sins

24. The elect of God, seal of messengers, best of creations
Guide of faith while disbelief thrives

25. God singled him out in scripture’s mention
The Wise revelation, most sublime remembrance

26. The angels supported him on Ohud Day
And Badr and fought on Badr Day

27. And the trees came to him when he called them
Then turned submissively to the command

28. Likewise pebbles in his hands glorified
Proclaiming in their prayers and praise

29. And so did the rocks send him greetings
How many like him has any rock seen?

30. Wondrous are the hearts of a folk whose love he won
Yet became like solid stone in refusal

31. And the yearning of the palm trunk which spilled its wine
Became one that fears its abandonment

32. This is the state of inanimate things so tell me
Do I have in this any excuse?

33. The camel came to him complaining
Of his exhaustion and harm

34. And Jabir complained to him of the weight of debt and need
With his creditor in hardship

35. And he had dates but some of them
Fulfilled with his entire stock of dates

36. So he came and took his fill from it
And his state became one of abundance

37. And likewise the date palms Sallam planted that year
Blossomed beautifully with new shoots and fruits

38. And they came complaining the land was
Barren, destitute and deprived of rain

39. The withholding of its drops caused crops and udders to dry
And springs and pools were lost

40. So he prayed while the sky was without clouds
And it poured down rain in every region

41. Continuously until they came to appeal
To the judge of the barrens

42. His miracles, if one tried to count them
He'd attempt to tally pebbles and pearls

43. I wonder, will there be after this remoteness
A meeting to heal my burning chest?

44. I had patience and carried these burdens this time
But here, the building of patience collapsed

45. Then it was too narrow for the hopes' tribulations
And outstretching aspirations, the lifetime's limit

46. I have no cunning in it and fear of losing
What I wish confuses my thoughts

47. And how the hands of frustration and grief
And despair in it have torn apart my matter

48. So to God I complain and hope
The responder to the desperate relieves the harm

49. And when what was destined to meet him before is done
My sorrow will be remedied at its mending

50. Therefore prayers to God flow to him
As the first light appears in the horizon

51. And the gaze of the brilliant sun manifests
And crosses with the morning's blossoming branch
