1. The book of love for you begins with success,
O you in whom beauty is sealed and begun anew,

2. And though many praises were raised up for you,
None but “Messenger of God” was title enough,

3. With your guidance, minds were lit aflame,
O you by whom the fury of the Proud was doused,

4. The emotions of thought's daughters were gentled and revived,
Since you suckled them from the teat of your glory's bounty,

5. And since I had them drink deep of your praise,
No rust or tarnish remains in the heart,

6. God of the Throne sends blessings upon you, for as long
As your praises are recited and your story spreads,

7. No stream ever flowed, no flower ever bloomed,
No meadow ever flourished and grew green,

8. No wisdom ever appeared, no parable was ever told,
No partridge ever sang from the thicket loud,

9. No moon ever rose or shone from your lights,
No constellation ever unveiled from your mysteries,

10. And upon your Family, Companions and Successors—
Each of them adorned with perfection and bounty.
