شرَفُ المُصْطَفى رفيعٌ عمادُه

لَيْسَ يُحْصَى بكثرة تَعْدَادُه

The nobility of Mustafa is lofty, its pillar

Cannot be counted due to its abundant number

لاح للمهتدين منه سراجٌ

بِيَدِ الله قِدْحُهُ وزنَادُه

A lamp shone for the guided from it

By the hand of God is its kindling and its flint

وبدا لِلْغاوِينَ سَيفَ انتقامٍ

مستحيلٌ عليهمُ إغمادُه

And for the astray a sword of vengeance appeared

Impossible for them is its extinguishing

بَعْثُهُ بَعْث كل خَير ومِيلا

دُ الهدى والتقَى مَعاً ميلادُه

His mission is the mission of all good and inclination

To guidance and piety together his birth inclined

فالمعالي لِذاتِهِ وعُلومُ الغَيْ

ب لذاتُه ومِنها مِدَادُه

So the sublime qualities are for his essence and the knowledge of the unseen is for his essence and from it is his ink

He has in his attributes and his virtues something

وَلَهُ فِي صفَاتِه وَمَزَايَاهُ كَما

لٌ تَشْجَى بِهِ حَسَّادُهْ

That makes his enviers happy

The enemy cannot reach it nor can his enemy's hatred and equipment

لا ينالُ العدوُّ منها ولا يق

دَحُ فِيهَا عُتُوُّه وعَتَادُه

Everyone who saw it was dazzled by its perfection

And its merit was acknowledged even by its rivals

بَهَرَتْ كُلَّ من رآها كمالاً

وأقرتْ بِفَضْلِها أضُدَادُهُ

Firm, pure of soul, noble natured, generous his munificence

Beautiful to all, abundant in merit and fulfilling

ثَابتُ الجأش طَاهرُ النفْس سمح الطْ

طَبع فِي البذلِ الجزيل جواده

In justice, easy in purpose, fluent his leadership

From ancestry he has abundant pride a pride which his ancestors flourish

جامِلُ الكل وَافرُ الفضْل وَا

فى العدلَ هَنيُّ المرامِ سَهْلٌ قياده

And above their pride he has from his efforts a path none of his peers claims

By it God made up for the people of the earth when its worshippers transgressed against it

أَبُطَحِيٌّ لَهُ منَ النَّسبِ الوا

فر فخرٌ تنمَى بِهِ أجْدَادُه

And set about among them for Satan a market thriving between them, remote his perishment

And an error that if it had appeared to the eyes, it would have covered the face of the morning with its darkness

وَلَهُ فَوْقَ فخرهمْ منْ مساعي

ه طريقٌ لا يدَّعيه تِلادُهْ

So they came to them an evident light, and a clear religion whose truth is lucid, upright is its guidance

It came from his Lord with a precise scripture, complete is its guidance

وبه قَدْ تَدَارَكَ اللهُ أهْلَ ال

أرْض لما طَغَى عَلَيْهَا عِبادُهْ

Fresh to the times is its study, unwearying its repetition

It confounded the learned, tossed them about, and defeated an ocean where its waves overwhelmed them

وغَدَا فيهمو لإِبْليس سُوقٌ

قائمٌ بَيْنَهمْ بعيدٌ كسادُهْ

The universe was subjugated to the Messenger, so it expressed its silence and its inanimate objects greeted him

To him the palm trunk inclined when it ached for him after his tomb became remote from it

وضلالٌ لوْ أَنَّهُ لاحَ للأعْ

ينُ غَطى وجهَ الصباح سوادُهْ

And it answered his call without hesitation when its bending was intended

And the splitting of the moon of nightfall came with a report about it whose narration is reliable

فأتاهُمْ نُورٌ مُبينٌ ودِين

واضحٌ حَقُّهُ جَلِيٌُّ سدَادُه

Numerous were the miracles of Ahmad until violating normality through them became habitual for him

They are like pearls in their beauty whether compiled or not, his unique ones suffice

جَاءَ مِن عندِ ربهِ بِكتاب

مُحْكَمِ النَّظْمِ كامل إرشَادُهْ

Then even if they were not, his beautiful law and creed would be clear proof

And certainty in God truly so do not meet Him except by depending on the God

هو غَض عَلَى الزَّمانِ لَذيذٌ

دَرْسُهُ لا يَمَله تَرْدَادُهْ

And knowledge people of his time did not previously know and wisdom not required by his country

And his acts of worship which he did not neglect out of boredom and persisted in with diligence

أعْجَزَ العَالمِينَ طُرّاً ومَنْ غا

لَبَ بَحْراً وَدَتْ بِهِ أطْوَادُه

The stars of night were made happy by his night vigil when his bed complained of separation from him

A bodily tiredness which God changes into the rest of the afterlife, his desire

سُخرَ الكَوْنُ لِلرَّسُولِ فَأَبْدَى

صَامِتٌ نُطْقَه وحَيَّا جَمادُه

O Messenger of the King, the prayer of one whose passion increased by it, was corrected and whose affection endured

I complain to you of a condition of religion and life whose severity is excessive and its balance intense

وَلَهُ الجذعُ حَنَّ لما شَجَاهُ

بَعْدَ قرب المزارِ مِنْهُ بعادُه

It is the limit between happiness and me, its contrary upset living and its continuity

And peace be upon you, for you are in the final gathering, its treasure and its supplies

وأجَابَ اسْتِدعَاهُ الشَّجَرُ المنقا

دُ طَوْعاً لمَّا أريد انْقِيادُه

وأتى بانْشِقَاق بَدْر الدَّيَاجِي

خَبَرٌ عَنْهُ ثَابِتٌ إِسْنَادُهْ

كَثُرَتْ مُعْجِزاتُ أحمدَ حَتَّى

صَارَ خرقُ العادات فِيهَا اعتِيادُه

هيَ كالدُّر فِي الغنا إِنْ يُؤلَف كا

نَ فضْلاً أَوْ لا اكْتَفَتْ آحادُهْ

ثُمَّ لو لَمْ يكنْ لَكَانَ دَليلاً

وَاضحاً حُسْنُ شرْعِه واعتِقَادهْ

ويَقيناً بالله حَقّاً فَلا تَلْقَا

هُ إِلاَّ عَلَى الإلَه اعتِمادُهْ

وَعُلُومٌ لَمْ يدرها قومهُ قبْ

ل وحُكْمٌ لا تَقْتَضيهِ بِلادُهْ

وَعِبادَاتُه الَّتِي لَمْ يَحُلْ عَنْها

ملالا وَطَالَ فِيهَا اجْتِهَادُهْ

سعدَت منهُ أنجمُ الليل بالصح

بة حين اشْتَكى الفِراقَ وسَادُهْ

تعبٌ لِلجسومِ يبدِلهُ الل

ه منْ رَاحَةٍ المَعَاد مُرَادُهْ

يَا رَسولَ الملِيكِ دعوة مَنْ

زَادَ بِهِ شَوقهُ وصَحَّ ودادُهْ

لكَ أشكُو حالاً من الدين والدنْ

يا شديدٌ غُلْوّهُ واقْتِصَادُهْ

هوَ حَدُّ بَيْنَ السرور وبَينِي

كَدَّرَ العيْشَ عَكْسُه واطرادُهْ

وعليكَ السلامُ من ذي اشتياق

أنتَ فِي الحشر كَنْزُهُ وَعَتادُهْ
