1. سَلْ هَامَةَ الْعَلْيَاءِ أَبَا سَلْهَامِ

    مِنْ بِرِّهِ الْمُبْرِي مِنَ الإِعْدَامِ

    Ask the peak of greatness, Abu Salham,

    For his beneficence that cures one from destitution;

  2. وَاجْعَلْهُ قِبْلَةَ مَا تُرِيدُ مِنَ الْمُنَى

    تُمْنَحْ بِهِ بِمُجَرَّدِ الإِحْرَامِ

    And make him the Qibla of all the hopes you desire,

    You shall be granted them by the mere act of Ihram.

  3. فَالْقَوْمُ أَهْلُ اللهِ فِي يَدِهِمْ مَقَا

    لِيدُ الْقَضَاءِ وَحِكْمَةُ العَلاَّمِ

    For these are the people of Allah; in their hands lie the keys

    Of destiny and the wisdom of the All-Knowing.

  4. وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللهُ تَأْهِيلَ امْرِئٍ

    لِلْخَيْرِ أَرْشَدَهُ إِلَى الأَقْوَامِ

    And when Allah wills to prepare a person

    For goodness, He guides him to such people.

  5. وَهُمُ سَلاَمُ اللهِ يَشْمَلُ جَمْعَهُمْ

    مُتَفَاوِتُونَ بِرُتْبَةٍ وَمَقَامِ

    And they—may the peace of Allah encompass their gathering—

    Vary in their spiritual ranks and stations.

  6. وَمِنَ الأُلَى حَازُوا الْمَقَامَاتِ الْعُلاَ

    وَتَمَيَّزُوا بِالنَّقْضِ وَالإِبْرَامِ

    And among those who have attained the loftiest of stations,

    Distinguished by the power to annul and ratify decrees,

  7. وَحَسَوْا كُؤُوسَ السِّرِّ سِرِّ اللهِ مَوْ

    لاَنَا أَبُو سَلْهَامٍ طَوْدِ شَمَامِ

    And who have sipped the cups of the mystery, the mystery of Allah, is our

    Master Abu Salham, the towering mountain of Shamam.

  8. لاَ يَرْكَنَنْ أَحَدٌ إِلَى الإِحْجَامِ

    عَنْ فَضْلِ مَوْلاَنَا أَبِي سَلْهَامِ

    Let no one ever yield to hesitation

    In seeking the grace of our master, Abu Salham.
