1. My God, my intention in my poem
Is to please You, and nothing more

2. Whenever it is recited or dated
I sought Your pleasure, so grant the poem

3. I composed praise of Ahmad in moderation
And praise of his family with a unique string

4. I made them the means to get near You
So I don't miss the purpose from afar

5. And whoever I singled out to mention
It’s out of love for their affectionate son

6. For Your sake, not for expected gain
Nor for spreading excellent reputation

7. No other motives marred our love
Nor diverted it from the right path

8. Nothing between us but supplication
In private from a sincere heart

9. You have made us needless of selling lasting
For unsafe fleeting and paltry

10. We both have pride in belonging
To You, of lofty, inherited vigor

11. We hope for salvation in loving You
In Your shade on the day of threat

12. So realize our hopes and conclude with goodness
And let us know Your bounty with increase

13. And spread the benefit of this poem and explain
Hearts that pulsed hearing its melody

14. Through it the memory of a beloved circulates
Whose love is bliss for the fortunate

15. Cup after cup will be served from it
For the return and the celebrator

16. She is filled, but gatherings for Him don't bore her
It hides the dormant longing and fervor

17. What rapture does not increase
Praise of her Prophet, the light of existence

18. No mercy in the universe but
The Lord endowed it to servants through him

19. The prayers and peace of Allah poured
Its springs in a cooled oasis

20. For Ahmad’s meadow and resting places
And abode of his living, affectionate family

21. And all his companions and followers
To the Day of Resurrection from the graves

22. Prayers that have no match in brilliance
And peace that has surpassed increase

23. From the Merciful, endless
Upon him and his family, for all eternity
