جِبتُ لِما أَسرى الإِلهُ بِعَبدِهِ

مِنَ البَيتِ لَيلاً نَحوَ بَيتٍ مُقَدَّسِ

I was inspired when God took His servant

On a night journey from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque

كِلا طَلَقَيهِ كانَ مَنَّ بِبَعضِها

ذَهاباً وَإِقبالاً وَما مِن مُعَرَّسِ

On both his trajectories was goodness

Going and returning without any difficulty

فَآمَنتُ إيماناً بِرَبّي وَبَيَّنَت

لَنا كُتُبٌ مِن عِندِهِ لَم تُلَبَّسِ

So I believed, with strong faith in my Lord

Books from Him became clear to us without any doubt

مُبَيِّنَةٌ فيها شِفاءٌ وَرَحمَةٌ

وَمَوعِظَةٌ لِلسّائِلِ المُتَجَسِّسِ

Containing in them healing, mercy

And advice for the curious imposter

نَرى الوَحيَ فيها مُستَبيناً وَخُطَّةً

مِنَ الوَحيِ تَمحو كُلَّ أَمرٍ مُعَمَّسِ

We see revelation in them, clear and marked

From revelation that erases all obscured matters

إِلهٌ عَظيمُ القَدرِ أَوحى كِتابَهُ

إِلى مُصطَفى ذي عِفَّةٍ لَم يُدَنَّسِ

A God, great in might, revealed His book

To Mustafa, of high moral standing, never tainted

كَريمِ المَساعي مِن ذُؤابَةِ هاشِمٍ

تَمَكَّنَ مِنها في نَواصٍ وَمَعطِسِ

Noble in endeavor, from the lineage of Hashim

Well-established in it among protects and marshes

إِذا عُدَّتِ الأَنسابُ أَو قِسنَ بِالحَصا

فَمَغرِسُهُ مِن هاشِمٍ خَيرُ مَغرِسِ

When genealogies are counted or measured by standard

His roots are from Hashim, the best roots

فَلا توعِدوهُ وَاِقبَلوا ما أَتاكُمُ

بِهِ مِن رِسالاتٍ مَتى توحَ تُدرَسِ

So do not threaten him, and accept what has come to you

Through his message whenever studied and pondered

وَإِلّا فَإِنّي خائِفٌ أَن يُعَذَّبوا

وَيُضرَب عَلى أَبصارِهِم ثُمَّ تُطمَسِ

Else I fear you will be tormented

And your sights will be struck, then blinded

وَتَلقَوا كَما لاقَت قُرونٌ كَثيرَةٌ

مَضَت قَبلَكُم مِن صاعِقاتٍ وَأَنحُسِ

And you will face what many past generations faced

From perishing thunderbolts and ill omens
