سَلامٌ عَلى قَبرِ النَبِيِّ مُحَمَّدٍ

نَبِيِّ الهُدى وَالمُصطَفى وَالمُؤَيَّدِ

Peace be upon the grave of Prophet Muhammad

The Prophet of guidance, the Chosen One, the Supported

نَبِيٍّ هَدانا اللَهُ بَعدَ ضَلالَةٍ

بِهِ لَم نَكُن لَولا هُداهُ لِنَهتَدي

The Prophet who guided us after misguidance

Without his guidance we would not be guided

فَكانَ رَسولُ اللَهِ مِفتاحَ رَحمَةٍ

مِنَ اللَهِ أَهداها لِكُلِّ مُوَحِّدِ

So God's Messenger was the key to mercy

Which God granted to every monotheist

وَكانَ رَسولُ اللَهِ أَفضَلَ مَن مَشى

عَلى الأَرضِ إِلّا أَنَّهُ لَم يُخَلَّدِ

And God's Messenger was the best who walked

Upon earth, though not made immortal

شَهِدتُ عَلى أَن لا نُبُوَّةَ بَعدَهُ

وَأَن لَيسَ حَيٌّ بَعدَهُ بِمُخَلَّدِ

I bear witness that there is no prophecy after him

And none living after him is immortal

وَأَنَّ البِلى يَأتي عَلى كُلِّ جِدَّةٍ

وَأَنَّ المَنايا لِلعِبادِ بِمَرصَدِ

And that decay comes upon all grandeur

And death lies in wait for all mortals

تَبارَكَ مَن يَجري الفِراقُ بِأَمرِهِ

وَيَجمَعُ مِن شَتّى عَلى غَيرِ مَوعِدِ

Blessed is He who decrees separation

And gathers from far and wide without appointment

أَيا صاحِ إِنَّ الدارَ دارُ تَبَلُّغٍ

إِلى بَرزَخِ المَوتى وَدارُ تَزَوِّدِ

O companions! This abode is one of attainment

To the intermediate realm of the dead and preparation

أَلَستَ تَرى أَنَّ الحَوادِثَ جَمَّةٌ

يَروحُ عَلَينا صَرفُهُنَّ وَيَغتَدي

Do you not see that calamities amass

Whose vicissitudes assault us violently?

تَبَلَّغ مِنَ الدُنيا وَنَل مِن كَفافِها

وَلا تَعتَقِدها في ضَميرٍ وَلا يَدِ

Attain sufficiency in this world but do not

Harbor it in your conscience or hand

وَكُن داخِلاً فيها كَأَنَّكَ خارِجٌ

إِلى غَيرِها مِنها مِنَ اليَومِ أَو غَدِ

And enter into it as if you are leaving

To another than it today or tomorrow
