يَا رَبِّ بِالْمُصْطَفَى الْمُخْتَارِ سَيِّدِنَا

مُحَمَّدٍ مَنْ سَرَى لَيْلاً إِلَى الأُفُقِ

O Lord, by the Chosen One, our master

O Lord, by our Master, the Chosen One, the Elect,

Muhammad who journeyed by night to the horizon

Muhammad, who journeyed by night to the horizon,

عَلَيْهِ أَزْكَى صَلاَةٍ مِنْكَ دَائِمَةٍ

مَا شَقَّ عَضْبُ صَبَاحٍ فَرْوَةَ الْغَسَقِ

Upon him the most virtuous eternal prayer from You

Upon him be Your purest, everlasting blessings,

As the dawn cleaves the darkness at first light

As long as the sharp sword of morning cleaves the mantle of darkness.

اِجْعَلْ خُطَانَا خُطَى مَنْ قَالَ مَطْلَبُهُ

لَهُ هَنِيئاً مَرِيئاً قَوْلَةَ الْوَمَقِ

Make our missteps follow in the steps of him who uttered

Make our footsteps the footsteps of one to whom his goal says,

His want is fortunate and splendid, the statement of certainty

'May it be wholesome and sweet,' with the voice of pure affection.
