يا مَن به طيبةٌ طابَت حلى وعُلاً

ومَن بتَشريفه قَد شُرِّفَ العَرَبُ

O you whose grace makes sweetness sweet and nobility noble,

O you who by honoring has honored the Arabs,

يا أحمدُ المصطفى قد جئتُ من بلدٍ

قاصٍ ولي خلَدٌ قاسٍ ولي أَرَبُ

O Ahmad of the Chosen One, I have come from a land far away

With troubles that torment me and sins to flee from,

ومُذ دَهَتني ذنوبٌ قلتُ إذ عَظُمت

لِلّه منها وَطَهَ المصطفى الهَرَبُ

And when my sins overwhelmed me I would say, when they grew great,

To God belongs forgiveness, and to the Chosen One escape.
