1. محَمَّدٌ حُبُّهُ مَاااا مِثلُهُ حُبُّ

    يا ربُّ صَلِّ عليه، صَلِّ يا ربُّ

    Muhammad—no love is like love for him.

    O Lord, bless him; bless him, O Lord.

  2. قَرَارَةُ القَلبِ مِن فَرطِ النّوى احتَرَقَت

    شَوقُ القَرَارَةِ حَربٌ خَلفَهَا حَربُ

    The heart’s deepest core burned from overwhelming separation.

    The core’s longing is war, with war behind it.

  3. مَا الحُبُّ يَا الصَّبُّ إلا فِيهِ، مِنهُ، بِهِ،

    مَا الحُبُّ إلا لَهُ يَا أَيهَا الصَّبُّ

    Love, O lovesick one, is only in him, from him, through him;

    Love is for him alone, O you lovesick one.

  4. إِنَّ الصلاةَ عليهِ وَالسّلامَ هُدىً

    يُجلى بِهَا الضَّنْكُ والإقْتَارُ وَالصّعْبُ

    Indeed, blessings and peace upon him are guidance,

    through which distress, poverty, and hardship are dispelled.

  5. مَا قِيمَةُ الحُبِّ لَولا حُبّه، قَسماً

    إليهِ مِن غيرِ أَقدَامٍ مَشَى القَلبُ

    What would love be worth without love for him? I swear,

    Toward him, without feet, the heart walked.

  6. بِالحُبِّ فِي الوَعيِ وَاللَّاوَعيِ آيَتُهُ

    تَجُولُ مَا ارتَدَّتِ الأجفَانُ والهُدبُ

    Through love, in consciousness and the unconscious, his sign

    wanders as long as eyelids and lashes blink.

  7. قُطبٌ هُنَا وَهُنَا، مِمَّا مَضَى وَإِلى

    حِينِي، وَحَاشَا كَ نَعلِيهِ يُرَى قُطبُ

    A spiritual pole here and there, from the past up to

    my time—yet far be it that any pole should be seen as the equal of his two sandals.
