بَدا لابساً بُردَ النبّيِ محمّد

بأحسنَ مِمّا أَقبلَ البَدرُ طالعا

He appeared wearing the mantle of Prophet Muhammad

More beautifully than the full moon rising

سَمِيُّ النبيِّ وآبنُ وارثهِ الذي

بهِ استشفعوا أَكرِم بذلكَ شافعا

The namesake of the Prophet and his heir

The one through whom they sought intercession, most generous intercessor

فَلمّا عَلا الأعوادَ قامَ بخطبةٍ

تَزيدُ هُدى مَن كانَ للحقِّ تابعا

When he ascended the pulpit, he delivered a sermon

That increases guidance for those who follow the truth

وكلُّ عَزيزٍ خَشيةً منهُ خاشعٌ

وأَنتَ تَراهُ خَشيةَ اللَهِ خاشعا

And every mighty one is humble before him

While you see him humble before God
