بسطت بين يدى خير الورى عذري

فانحط عنى أمام المصطفى وزري

I spread my excuses before the best of creation,

So my burdens fell from me in the presence of Al-Mustafa.

ومد يمناه واليسرى وصافحني

ففزت من عطفه باليمن واليسر

He stretched out his right hand and his left, and shook my hand,

So I gained blessing from his kindness and generosity.

كانت مواجهة الهادى بمسجده

تفوق في القدر عندى ليلة القدر

Meeting the Guide in his mosque,

Was for me greater in worth than Laylat Al-Qadr.

ما ليلة القدر والمختار أشرف من

عرش وفرش بنص الآي والذكر

For what night is greater than Laylat Al-Qadr

Except that the Chosen One is more noble than the Throne and the ground, by the text of the verse and the mention.

وقفت والله مرتاعا ومرتعدا

يوم الزيارة من إثمى ومن إصري

I stood, by Allah, anxious and trembling

On the day of visiting, because of my sins and burdens.

فلا وربك ما قدمت معذرة

إلا وفزت بشرح القلب والصدر

No, by your Lord, I did not make an excuse

Except that I gained solace of heart and chest.

وقرّت العين مما شاهدت ورأت

إذ نفحة الفضل فاقت نفحة العطر

My eye was delighted by what it saw and witnessed,

When the breeze of grace exceeded the fragrance of perfume.

وكيف لا ورسول الله في يده

غيث وغوث من الإملاق والفقر

How could it not, when the Messenger of Allah held

Salvation and salvation from distress and poverty.

فيها النوال وفيها العز أجمعه

فيها السماح وفيها راية النصر

In it is attainment, in it all glory,

In it generosity, in it the banner of victory.

أيام طيبة قد طابت مواردها

فاليوم يعدل فيها سائر العمر

Blessed days that their springs have become good,

So this day equals the rest of life.

فروضه المصطفى فضل الصلاة بها

كالفضل للبدر بين الأنجم الزهر

The obligatory duties of Al-Mustafa - the virtue of prayer therein

Is like the virtue of the full moon among the shining stars.

بحرٌ من الفضل لكن شط ساحله

للرى للجود للإحسان للطهر

A sea of virtue, but its coast is for

The slaves, for generosity, for benevolence, for purity.

طهرت بعد ارتوائي كل جارحة

حتى غدت في الضيا أنقى من البدر

I purified every limb after being sated,

Until I became in brightness purer than the full moon.

وقمت مع رفقتي الزوار قاطبة

نرجو الشفاعة يوم الحشر والنشر

And I stood with my pilgrim friends altogether

Hoping for intercession on the Day of Resurrection and Gathering.

والقلب من خشية المختار مضطرب

والطرف ساج ولكن دمعه يجري

And my heart is disturbed by awe of the Chosen One,

While my eyelid flows with tears.

فأنزل الله من فضل سكينته

على الجميع وفاز الكل بالأجر

So Allah sent down from the grace of His tranquility,

Upon all, and all gained reward.

وزوّد الكلّ من آلائه منحا

من دونها في المزايا صيب القطر

And provided everyone with His blessings and gifts,

Compared to which drops of rain are insignificant.

وراح كل ببسط الجود في سعة

دنيا ودينا بما قد نال من فخر

And each set out in the expanse of generosity,

In worldly and religious matters, with what he gained of pride.

وراح كل ببسط الجود في سعة

دنيا ودينا بما قد نال من فخر

And each set out in the expanse of generosity,

In worldly and religious matters, with what he gained of pride.

صلى عليه إله العرش ما نظرت

عين الوفود لنور الكوكب الدري

May the God of the Throne send prayers upon him whenever

The eyes of pilgrims gazed upon the light of the brilliant star,

والآل والصحب والأنصار قاطبة

والعاملين بحكم النهى والأمر

And upon his Family, his Companions, and the Helpers altogether,

And those who work according to His prohibitions and commands.
