صلّوا على أزكى البرايا سيد البشر

مَن قد سعت لمّا دعا طوعاً له الشجر

Pray upon the most virtuous of all creation, the Master of Mankind

He whose plea the trees eagerly responded to, swaying obediently

وسبّحت صُمّ الحصى في كفّه وقد

فاض الزلال العذب من كفّيه كالنهر

And the deaf pebbles glorified in his palm, as

Sweet clear water overflowed from his hands like a river

وظلّلته إذ غدا في الحرّ سائراً

غمامة وانشقّ إجلالاً له القمر

And a cloud shaded him as he traveled in the heat

The moon split open in awe of him

إذا مشى في الصخر غاصت نعله به

وإن مشى في الرمل لم يُشهد له أثر

When he walked on stone, his sandal sunk into it

And when he walked on sand, no trace of his step remained

قد خُصّ بالرعب الذي تبلى العدى به

من بعد شهر جلّ مَن زاده بالخفر

After a glorious month, terror overtook his enemies

As his supporters multiplied with zeal

سبحان مَن أسرى به ليلا إلى العُلى

روحاً وجسماً يقظة ذا صحّ في الخبر

Glorious is He who journeyed with him by night to the Most High

In spirit and body, wakefully, with true knowledge of the unseen

كقاب قوسين وأدنى قد دنا

وأين مع كيف اتركَن تأمَن من الخطر

As close as the length of two bows, yet nearer still

But where and how - who can be safe from danger?

به ابن سودون غدا مُستشفعاً عسى

ينجو به يوم التلاقي من لظى سقر

Through him the Lord of Sudan hoped

To be saved from Hellfire at the final gathering

صلى عليه ربي مُسلّماً

والآل طُراً ما اختفى نجم وما ظهر

My Lord prayed upon him in submission

And his family - never has a star faded or shone brighter
