أشرف المجد ومحض السؤدد
للنبي المصطفى محمد
The most honorable glory and pure perfection
Belong to the chosen Prophet Muhammad
وله في الفخر أعلى منصب
اقتناه في كريم المحتد
He has the highest rank of pride
That he earned through his generosity
صف وعدد ما تشاء من عُلا
سيد في المعلوات أوحد
Describe and count as much nobility as you wish
The master of virtues, unmatched
بعلا علي قدر مجده
كل ذى علا علي يقتدى
With glory fitting his stature
All the eminent model after him
وبأنوار بدور هديه
في غياهب الضلال يهتدى
With the shining lights of his guiding sun
One finds their way out of the darkness of misguidance
وكفهُ كالمزن في تهتانه
قد هما سحا لكل مجتدى
His palm is generous in its bounty
It has spread goodness for every seeker
يا رسول اللَه قد اسدت لنا
منحُ الألطاف بيضاء اليد
O Messenger of God, you have granted us
Gifts of kindness with open hands
سامعى فخسر النبي احصروا
هذه أوصاف مجد أحمد
Listeners, describe the Prophet comprehensively
These are the attributes of Ahmed's glory
منشدى بوصف أوصاف صفت
أحببني بذكرها يا منشدي
My reciter, describe for me the attributes
That made me love the mention of him
غننى بها ثناء أحمد
قد ثنانى عن مغانى معبد
Sing his praises to me, praise of Ahmed
His praise has distracted me from other themes
فلقبى في السماع غلةٌ
حرها يذكى غليل الكبد
So my listening has become a profession
It's livelihood brings life to my heart
كيف لا نهتز عند ذكر من
يرتجى للمعضلات في غد
How can we not tremble at the mention
Of one who is hoped for difficult times ahead
يوم يجزى الناس ما قد عملوا
يشهد الفضل له في المشهد
The day people are rewarded for their deeds
His merit will be witnessed at the gathering
وترى له بذاك موقفا
خصّ فيه بالمقام الأحمد
And you will see for him there a station
Special to him, the most Praised
إذ يرى كل نبي خائفا
يسأل الرحمن أخذا باليد
Where every prophet is fearful
Asking the Merciful, grasping his hand
ورسول اللَه مع أمته
دافعاً عنهم عظيم الكمد
While the Messenger of God is with his nation
Defending them with great fortitude
تارة عند الصراط واقفاً
ولدى ميزانهم بالمرصَدِ
Sometimes standing at the Bridge
Other times watching their scales carefully
وكذلك الحوض يسقيهم به
من كؤوس قد صفت في المورد
And likewise at the Basin, quenching them
From cups lined up at the watering place
وبنادى يا إلهي أمتى
رب فانجز فيهم لي موعد
And calling: My Lord, my nation
Please fulfill for me what You have promised
أمة المختار ما بالكم
لا تصلون على ذا السيد
O nation of the Chosen One, why do you
Not invoke blessings on that Master
أكثروا عليه من صلاتكم
وأديموها دوام الأبد
Increase your prayers for him
And persist in them forever
فصلاة اللَه تغشى أحمداً
وتروح نحوه وتفتدى
For God's blessing covers Ahmed
And goes to him and ransoms him
