1. Every form of high excellence is gathered in the Prophet;

    all who dwell in the heavens and on earth acknowledge this of him.

  2. His rare qualities are celestial, angelic;

    they have never ceased to be pleasing, and never ceased to please.

  3. Battle-fierce, his heroes grind down the foe,

    and bar every way before them, lengthwise and breadthwise.

  4. His lion-warriors strike terror into them in every war—

    how many lands are theirs across the broad face of the earth!

  5. The ferocity of lions whose thicket is a forest of spear-shafts,

    whenever they muster for battle or parade.

  6. Their blaze of wrath is kindled by their blades

    against whoever swerves from a right or shirks a duty.

  7. Their blows in war defend the sanctuary,

    and in peace their generosity safeguards honor.

  8. Udders of bounty, milked throughout the ages

    by all who seek a return from him—and God rewards the duty fulfilled.

  9. The tomb of God’s Messenger is a paradise on earth;

    within its garden, every seeker of grace finds favor.

  10. I humbled myself before my Lord with the humble plea of one yearning

    toward Him, that He might draw me near to that sacred precinct.
