وسطت خير الورى في هدى أولادي
وليس بعد رسول الله من هادي
You were the best of creation in guiding my children,
And after the Messenger of Allah there is no other guide.
يا مصطفى أنت بعد الله ملجؤهم
فامنحهم مدَداً من خير أمداد
O Mustafa, after Allah you are their refuge,
So grant them abundant goodness from the best provisions.
حاشى سواك رسول الله يلحظهم
وهم لسبطك من أفراد أحفاد
Except you, O Messenger of Allah, no one looks after them,
And they are descendants of your beloved grandson.
والكل ينمى إلى الزهراء فاطمة
والفرع لاشك قد يعلو بأجداد
And all trace back to Fatima Al-Zahra,
And the branch undoubtedly can be lofty due to its roots.
الجود والخير في يمناك مجتمعٌ
وعذب بحرك مرجو لورداد
Generosity and goodness are gathered in your right hand,
And your sweet sea is hoped for its downpours.
فانظر إليهم ونجح حسن مقصدهم
وامنن عليهم بتسديد وإرشاد
So look upon them and make their good purpose succeed,
And bestow upon them guidance and direction.
إن لم تساعدهم الأيام من زمن
فنظرة منك تروى غلّة الصادى
If the days of time do not help them,
Then a glance from you waters the thirst of the seeker.
يا رب مالى سوى المختار واسطة
أرجوه لي ولهم في خير إسعاد
O Lord, I have none but the Chosen as my intercessor,
I hope in him for myself and them for the best happiness.
فاشرح إلهي بهم صدرى بلا مهل
واجعل حياتي بهم أيام أعياد
So my God, ease my chest through them without delay,
And make my life with them days of celebration.
وارزقهم العز وامنحهم شهادتهم
عما قريب ولا تحكم بإبعاد
And grant them might and give them martyrdom,
Soon, and do not decree separation.
ورد بالفوز والعلياء غائبهم
فالبعد زهدني في النوم والزاد
And return their absent ones in triumph and elevation,
For separation has made me disgusted with sleep and food.
لولا رجائي بأن الله يحفظه
لقطعت بيد الأشواق أكبادي
If not for my hope that Allah protects him,
I would have cut my liver with the knives of yearning.
مولاي مولاي لا تشمت بنا أحدا
ورد في النحر منهم كيد حساد
My Master, my Master, let no one gloat over us,
And return the schemes of their envious ones in their throats.
وجد بعفو وإحسان وعافية
وارفع مقامى وقدرى بين أندادي
Show them clemency, benevolence and wellbeing,
And raise my status and worth among my peers.
بجاه خير الورى الهادي وعترته
سفن النجاة لمرتاع ومرتاد
For the sake of the best of creation, the guiding one, and his family,
The arcs of salvation for the frightened and seeker.
