قل للمطي اللَواتي طال مسراها

من بعد تَقبيل يمناها وَيُسراها

Tell the one whose journey was prolonged after kissing its right and left

That the day of parting would not have harmed her had she stopped

ما ضرها يوم جد البين لو وقفت

نقص في الحي شَكوانا وَشَكواها

There would have been no shortage of life's complaints and laments

Had she borne some of the agony I carried, she would not have enjoyed its clear sweet water and pasture

لَو حملت بعض ما حملت من حرق

ما اِستَعذبت ماءها الصافي وَمَرعاها

But she knew my passion so she felt passion

Yearning for Damascus made me cry and made her cry

لكنها علمت وجدي فأوجدها

شوق إِلى الشام أَبكاني وأَبكاها

No breeze blew from my Najdi mountain to Ghor

Except it made me sleepless thinking of her and made her sleepless

ما هب من جبلي نجد نسيم صبا

للغورالا وأَشجاني وأَشجاها

No smiling Meccan lightning flashed

Except it made me stay up late with her on my mind and made her stay up late

وَلا سَرى البارق المكي مبتسما

الا وأسهرني رهنا وأَسراها

She left rapidly like lightning

As if the voice of Allah's Messenger called to her

تَبادَرَت من ربانا بتي برع

كأن صوت رَسول اللَه ناداها

Until when she saw the light of the Prophet, she saw

The sun and moon as imperfect and incomplete compared to him

حَتّى اذا ما رأت نور النَبي رأت

للشمس وَالبدر أَمصالا وأَشباها

She landed in the plains of Allah's Messenger and unloaded

Her burdens, and by him her resting place was blessed

حطت بسوح رَسول اللَه واطرحت

أَثقالها وَلديه طاب مَثواها

The green clouds bid the green gardens good morning

So the grave and the green garden bid her good morning

حيا الغمام الرحاب الخضر منسجما

فالقَبر فالرَوضةالخَضراء حياها

Where his prophethood has its pavilion pitched

And the pinnacle of religion is high above the stars

حيث النبوة مضروب سرادقها

وَذروة الدين فَوقَ النجم علياها

There is Al Mustafa Al Mukhtar from Mudar

The best of creation, its highest and its lowest

هنالك المُصطَفى المختار من مضر

خير البَريّة أَقصاها وأَدناها

Allah sent him as a messenger and his nation

On the verge of a crumbling cliff He rescued

أَتى به اللَه مَبعوثا وأمته

عَلى شفا جرف هارفأ نحاها

And the people exchanged misguidance for guidance

And He broke the idols with the sword when He strengthened it

وأبدل الخلق رشدا من ضلالتهم

وَفل بالسيف لما عز عزاها

How many judgments the swords and white blades ruled

Among the worshippers of Lat and Uzza, so He eliminated them

كَم حكم السيف وَالبيض القواضب في

معاشر اللات وَالعزى فأفناها

And the stallions of the horses marched traitorously

In the path of battles, along their channels and watering places

وَساقَ جرد جياد الخيل خائنة

مَجرى الكَماة بِمَجراها وَمرساها

That bearer of good tidings, warner, caller for help

The secret of prophethood in the world and its meaning

ذاكَ البَشير النذير المُستَغاث به

سر النبوّة في الدنيا وَمَعناها

The sun of existence whose lights from his birth

Filled what is between Canaan and Basra

شمس الوجود الَّذي أَنوار مولده

ملأن ما بين كنعانوَبصراها

The hall of Chosroes cracked from his awe

And the fire of Persia, that baby extinguished it

وانشق ايوان كسرى من مهابته

وَنار فارس ذاك الطفل أَطفاها

And how many miracles He specializes for him with

And many amazing miracles we know

وكم له من كَرامات يخص بها

وَمعجزات كَثيرات عرفناها

The baby sucked milk and the clouds shaded Him

And the moon split in two halves in the darkness

الثدى در له وَالغيم ظلله

وانشق في الافق بدر شق ظلماها

And the trunk bowed and water flowed from his hand

Ten and a half times ten He watered

وَالجذع حن وأجرى الماء من يده

عشر المئين وَنصف العشر أَرواها

And the spider built a house over him so

A group of straying disbelievers would turn away

وَالعنكبوت بنت بيتا عليه لكي

ترد فرقة كفر ضل مَسعاها

And the trees bowed in prostration to him

And the gazelle complained of affliction so he relieved her

وَالفعل ذل وأوما بالسجود له

وَالظبية اِشتَكَت البَلوى فأَشكاها

Good tidings the poem is happy for it found

The master of Arabs, their best buy

بشرى طراف القَوافي انها ظفرت

بسيد العَرَب العرباء شراها

So praise be to God, we won with him

In a blessed nation, best consequence in the next home

فالحَمدُ لِلَّه نحن الفائزون به

في ملة نعم عقبى الدار عقباها

This is Muhammad, praiseworthy is his ways

This is the most righteous of people and their most loyal

هَذا محمد المَحمود سيرته

هَذا أبر بني الدنيا وَأَوفاها

This is the one who when he brought us the message in

The valley of Mecca, the light covered its valley

هَذا الَّذي حين جانا بالرسالة في

بَطحاء مكة عم النور بطحاها

No tree or stone remained

Except greeted him when meeting him

لَم يَبقَ من شجر فيها وَلا حجر

الا تحييه نطقا حين يَلقاها

And the inanimate creation spoke to him

As if it had senses and mouths

وَكلمته جَمادات الوجود عَلى

علم كأن لها حسا وأَفواها

The birds, beasts, and angels never stopped

Greeting peace upon him however God wishes

وَالطير وَالوَحش والاملاك ما برحت

تهدى السَلام له كي تَرضى لِلَّه

Peace be upon the light which delighted

The heavens when it traversed their heights

مني السَلام عَلى النور الَّذي اِبتهجَت

به السَموات لما جاز أَعلاها

And the Throne and Chair rejoiced and the veils

Of Majesty filled with light when it drew near

واِستَبشر العرش وَالكرسي وامتلأت

حجب الجلالة نورا حين واناها

O owner of abundant grace, seal of messengers, O Yasin, O Ta Ha

The prophets have no attributes that he does not

يا من له الكوثر الفياض مكرمة

يا خاتم الرسل يا يس يا طه

So the pinnacle of their beauty is in him

You are the one who nothing in existence resembles

ما للنبيين منوصف وليس له

فمنتهى حسنها فيهوَحسناها

Far-fetched! Where are their bits compared to his bits

None earned your merit but you, nor

أَنتَ الَّذي ماله في الكون من شبه

هَيهات أَين ثراها من ثرباها

Reached your pride, or matched it

The King of Majesty, accepter of intercession, the highest

ما نالَ فضلك ذو فضل سواك وَلا

سامى فخارك ذو فخر وَلا ضاها

Of prophets in rank on Judgment Day

My Master what is most beautiful is your kindness to me

فرد الجَلالة مَقبول الشَفاعة في

يوم القامة أَعلى الانبيا جاها

So grant eyes that look to you and regard them

And include in your mercy a servant of the Merciful, join

مَولاي مالي الاحسن لطفك بي

فهب لعيني عينا منك تَرعاها

Family, companions, and relatives with their Master

And help a soul when your nation sets out

واشمل بمرحمة عَبد الرَحيم وصل

أَهلا وَصحبا وارحاما لمولاها

Seeking visitation, but sins hinder it

And grant it security in the two abodes, show it

وانهض بنفس اذا أمتك من برع

تَبغي الزيارة عاقتها خَطاياها

Good thoughts, for its world and Hereafter

And make goodness the fate of your nation

وَهب لَها الامن في الدارين وارع لها

حسن الظنون لدنياها وأخراها

And Paradise their final dwelling

O my God, bestow prayers upon Muhammad

واجعل لامتك الخَيرات منقلبا

يوم القيامة وَالجنات مأواها

As long as the creation praises and journeys to him

Greetings that incline to his family, its emergence

صَلى عليك الهى يا محمد ما

دامَت اليك الورى تحد وَمطاياها

Fortunate, and the wind of musk blows its scent

تحيَّة يَنثَني في الآل طالعها

سعدا وبفضح ريح المسك رياها
