وسطت خير الورى في مدى أولادى

وليس بعد رسول الله من هاد

You interceded for the best of creation among my children

And after the Messenger of Allah, there is no other guide

يا مصطفى أنت بعد الله ملجؤهم

فامنحهم مددا من خير أمداد

O Mustafa, after Allah you are their refuge

So grant them support with the best assistance

حاشا سواك رسول الله يلحظهم

وهم لسبطك من أفراد أحفاد

None but you, Messenger of Allah, watch over them

As they are the progeny of your grandson

والكل ينمى إلى الزهراء فاطمة

والفرع لاشك قد يعلو بأجداد

And all lead back to Fatima al-Zahra

No doubt the branch ascends with forefathers

الجود والخير في يمناك مجتمعٌ

وعذب بحرك مرجو لوراد

Benevolence and goodness are gathered in your right side

And your sea is sweetly hoped for its visitors

فانظر إليهم ونجح حسن مقصدهم

وامنن عليهم بتسديد وإرشاد

So look after them and facilitate their good purpose

And confer upon them guidance and direction

إن لم تساعدهم الأيام من زمن

فنظرة منك تروى غلّة الصادى

If the days of time do not assist them

Then a glance from you will water the thirsty

يا ربّ مالى سوى المختار وساطة

أرجوه لي ولهم في نيل إسعاد

My Lord, I have no one but the Chosen as intercessor

I hope in him for me and them to attain bliss

فاشرح إلهى بهم صدرى بلا مهل

واجعل حياتي بهم أيام أعياد

So relieve, my God, my chest because of them without delay

And make my life with them days of celebration

وارزقهم العز وامنحهم إجازتهم

عما قريب ولا تحكم بإبعاد

And grant them honor and give them success

In what is near, and do not judge with separation

ورد بالفوز والعلياء غائبهم

فالبعد زهدني في النوم والزاد

And return the absent ones with triumph and utmost rank

For remoteness has made me hate sleep and food

لولا رجائي بأن الله يحفظه

لقطّعت بيد الأشواق أكبادي

If it were not for my hope that Allah protects him

I would have cut my liver with the hands 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 in their throats the cunning of enviers

وجد بعفو وإحسان وعافية

وارفع مقامي وقدري بين أندادي

Show kindness, pardoning, wellbeing

And elevate my status and worth among my peers

بجاه خير الورى الهادي وعترته

سفن النجاة لمرتاع ومرتاد

By the right of the best of creation, the guiding leader and his family

The arcs of salvation for the frightened and seeker
