لقد جدد البرهان ما اخلق الدهر
واحيا طريق القوم واتضح السر
Time has renewed what fate once decreed
And revived the path of the people, the secret now clear
وطابت به اهل النهى حبث احرزت
بتبيانه ما ضل عن نيله الفكر
The people of wisdom are happy with it, as I have attained
Through its clarification what minds had missed
كتاب كريم في صحائفه انجلت
معان حمى برهانها النهي والامر
A noble book, in its pages revealed
Meanings, its proof protected by command and decree
كتاب به يجلى القتام لمخلص
وتندفع الاسوا وينشرح الصدر
A book by which the darkness is illuminated for the sincere
And falsehoods dispelled, breasts expanded
كتاب به نور الشريعة ظاهر
فما ضر لو يفدى لتحصيله العمر
A book in which shines the light of Shariah
What matter if a lifetime is spent to gain it?
لقد فقدته القوم حينا لطيه
وفي الليلة الظلماء يفتقد البدر
The people had lost it for a time in their heedlessness
In the dark night, the full moon is sought
فمن به المولى وجاء مؤيدا
واصبح من خدامه الطبع والنشر
So the Master brought it, sending support
Making its nature and circulation His servants
وكيف وقد اعلى شرافة مجده
ابو العلمين المفرد العلم الوتر
How not, when its noble glory is supreme?
The singular sage, the one uneven science
امام له في الاولياء مكانة
تقاصر عن مرقى جلالتها النسر
A leader whose station among saints
Is too lofty for the eagle's ascent
خوارقه جلت وعز حسابها
وهيهات تحصى في الورى الانجم الزهر
Its miracles manifest, its account revered
Beyond counting in the cosmos are the dazzling stars
ويكفيك منها مد راحة احمد
نبي الهدى من جاء في مدحه الذكر
And suffice it that among them extends the hand of Ahmed
The prophet of guidance, mentioned in honor
تجلت له جهرا وفاز بشمها
وقبلها والعز في ذاك والفخر
Revealed to him openly, and he won its breath
Inhaled it, supreme in this and pride
تفرد فيها وهو فرد بخلقه
على قدم المختار صح له السير
Unique in it, unique in his nature
Upon the step of the Chosen, his way is confirmed
تخلص من لوث الغرور بحالة
رفاعية ما مسها الزهو والكبر
Free of the filth of arrogance in his saintly state
Lofty, untouched by conceit and pride
واخلص للرحمن منقطعا له
ففاز بما قد ضمه ذلك الصدر
Sincere to the Merciful, detached save to Him
Thus winning what that chest contained
سما رتبة ما طاولتها يد السها
وحاز اشتهاراً دون مظهره الفجر
His rank is as high as the hand of glory can reach
Attaining famous station before the rise of dawn
له الله من غوث تقد بعزمه
حبال العدا جهرا وقد يجبر الكسر
To him God gave a rescuing help
Binding in the open the ropes of enemies, mending breaks
خوارقه في الصالحين فريدة
وهمته من شأنها الفتك والكر
Among the righteous, his miracles singular
His ambition therein to vanquish and conquer
وساحته للعاجزين وسبعة
ببعض زوايا برها البحر والبر
His court is refuge for the helpless
Some sides sheltered by his sea and land
اياد عن الطهر البتول وحيدر
مورثة ما مس جانبها النكر
Bequests from the chaste Virgin and Haydar
Inheritances no shame has touched
كفاك اذا عد الرجال بانه
على هامة التقديم يرفعه الذكر
It suffices that among men he's named
Exalted by honor at the peak of high esteem
على انه خلقا وخلقا وسيرة
بحال رسول الله صح له الاثر
That by nature, conduct and way of life
He matches the Messenger of God in traces
بحرمته عند الآله وجاهه
يتم رضا المولى وينكشف الضر
By his sanctity to God, his standing
Bringing the fulfillment of his Master's pleasure, unveiling harm
عليه سلام الله ما لاح بارق
وطالت لهف ي القوم الوية خضر
Upon him be God's peace so long as light gleams
And among the people yearning green flags wave
