وسَلنَّ حَبقُوقَ المُصَرِّحَ بِاسمِهِ

وَبِوَصْفِهِ وَكَفَى به مَسؤولا

The elucidator made clear his name

And it sufficed him as responsible

إذْ أوْصَلَ القَوْلَ الصَّريحَ بذِكْرِهِ

للسَّامِعِينَ فأَحْسَنَ التَّوصِيلا

When he delivered the explicit word by his mention

To the listeners, so he did well in conveyance

والأرضُ مِنَ تَحمِيدِ أحمدَ أَصبَحَت

وبِنُورِهِ عَرْضاً تُضِيءُ وطُولا

And the earth became, due to praising Ahmad,

Spreading light in its expanse and length

رَوِيَتْ سِهَامُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِقِسِيِّهِ

وغَدا بها مَن ناضَلَت مَنضُولا

The arrows of Muhammad were wetted with his fairness

And those who struggled against him became humiliated

وَاسمَع بِرُؤيا بُخْتَنَصَّرَ وَالتَمِس

مِنْ دانِيالَ لها إذَنْ تَأْوِيلا

And listen to Nebuchadnezzar’s vision and seek

From Daniel an interpretation for it

وَسَلُوهَ كَمْ تَمْتَدُّ دَعْوَةُ باطِلٍ

لتُزِيحَ عِلَّةَ مُبطِلٍ وَتُزِيلا

And ask him, for how long will the call of falsehood last

To remove the flaw of the negator and eliminate?

وَارمِ العِدا بِبَشائِرٍ عَن أَرمِيا

إذ كَفَّ نَبلُ كِنانِهِ مَتبُولا

And cast the enemies with the tidings of Jeremiah

When the shooting of his bows stopped, disabled

إذ قالَ قد قَدَّستُهُ وعَصَمتُهُ

وَجَعَلتُ لِلأَجْناسِ منهُ رَسُولا

When he said, I sanctified him and protected him

And made him a messenger for mankind

وَجَعَلتُ تَقْدِيسِي قُبَيْلَ وُجُودِهِ

وَعداً عَلَيَّ كَبَعثِهِ مَفعُولا

And I made my sanctification of him before his existence

A promise upon me, like sending him accomplished

وحَدِيثُ مَكَّةَ قد رواهَ مُطَولاً

شَعْيا فخُذهُ وَجَانِبِ التَّطوِيلا

And the speech of Mecca, Isaiah told it in detail

So take it, and avoid prolongation

إذْ راحَ بالقَوْلِ الصَّرِيحِ مُبَشِّراً

بالنَّسلِ مِنها عاقِراً مَعضولا

When he went with the explicit word giving tidings

Of the offspring from her, barren and crippled

وتَشَرَّفَت باسمٍ جَدِيدٍ فادعُها

حَرَمَ الإِلهِ بَلَغْتَ منه السُّولا

And it was honored with a new name, so call it

The sanctuary of God, you have attained exaltation

فَتَنَبَّهَت بعدَ الخُمولِ وَكُلِّلَت

أَبوابُها وسُقُوفُها تَكلِيلا

So it became alert after indolence and crowned

Were its doors and roofs with decoration

وَنَأَت عَنِ الظُّلمِ الّذي لا يَبتَغِي

لِخضابِهِ شَيْبُ الزَّمانِ نُصولا

And it avoided the injustice which does not seek

With its dyeing, the greying of time, attainment

حَرَمٌ عَلَى حَمْلِ السِّلاحِ مُحَرَّمٌ

فكأنّما يَسْقِي السُّيُوفَ فُلولا

A sanctuary prohibited from carrying arms, prohibited

It is as if it waters the swords with bloodshed

وَتَخَالُ مِن تَحرِيمِ حُرمَتِهِ العِدا

عُزلاً وإن لَبِسُوا السِّلاحَ ومِيلا

And it seems through prohibiting its sanctity, the enemies

Are disabled even if they wear arms and lean

لَمْ يُتَّخذ بَيْتٌ سِواهُ قِبْلةً

فازدَد بِذَاكَ لِمَا أَقُولُ قَبُولا

No house was taken as a Qiblah other than it

So through this, my saying gained acceptance

وبَنُو نَبايُتَ لَمْ تَزَل خُدَّامُها

لا تَبْتَغِي عنها لَهُمْ تَحوِيلا

And the sons of Nabayoth always serving it

Do not seek to divert them from it, relocation

جُمِعَت لَهُ أَغنامُ قَيدارَ الَّتي

قد كانَ منها ذِبحُ إِسْمَاعِيلا

For it the sheep of Qudar were gathered

From which used to be the sacrifice of Ishmael

فَنَمَتْ وأُمِّنَ خَوْفُها وَعَدُوُّها

قد باتَ منها خائفاً مَهْزُولا

So they grew and their fear subsided, and their enemy

Spent the night fearing them, defeated

وَكَلامُ شَمْعُونَ النبيِّ تَخالُهُ

لكلامِ موسى قد أتى تَذْيِيلا

And the speech of Simeon the prophet, it resembles

The speech of Moses that came later, appended

وَجَمِيعُ كُتبِهِمُ على عِلَّاتِها

نَطَقَت بِذِكر مُحَمَّدٍ تَعلِيلا

And all their books, with their reasons

Spoke with the mention of Muhammad, justified

لَم يَجهَلوهُ غَيرَ أنَّ سُيُوفَهُ

أَبقَت حُقُوداً عِنْدَهُم وذُحُولا

They did not ignore him, but rather his swords

Kept rancor with them, and bitterness

فاسمَع كلامَهُمُ ولا تَجعَل عَلَى

ما حَرَّفُوا مِنْ كُتبِهِم تَعوِيلا

So listen to their speech, and do not rely

On what they distorted of their books, consideration

لولا استِحَالَتُهُم لَمَا ألفَيتَنِي

لَكَ بالدَّليلِ عَلَى الغَرِيمِ مُحِيلا

If not for their obstinacy, you would not have found me

Citing to the adversary evidence, redirection

أوَ قَد جَهِلتَ مِنَ الحَدِيثِ رِوايَةً

أمْ قد نسيتَ مِنَ الكتاب نُزُولا

Or have you been unaware of a narration of hadeeth

Or have you forgotten a verse's revelation?

فاترُك جِدَالَ أخِي الضَّلالِ ولا تكُن

بِمِراءِ مَنْ لا يَهْتَدِي مَشْغُولا

So leave the debate of my misguided brother, and do not be

Busy arguing with one not guided, preoccupied

ما لي أُجادِلُ فيهِ كلَّ أخِي عمىً

كَيْمَا أُقِيمَ عَلَى النَّهارِ دَلِيلا

Why should I debate everything with a blind brother

So I stand during the day with proof, illuminated?

واصْرِفْ إلى مَدْحِ النبيِّ مُحَمَّدٍ

قَولاً غَدا عَن غَيرِهِ مَعدُولا

And turn your words to praising the Prophet Muhammad

Speech tomorrow diverted from others, refused

فإذا حَصَلتَ عَلَى الهُدَى بِكِتابِهِ

لا تَبْغِ بَعْدُ لِغَيْرِهِ تَحْصِيلا

So if you attain guidance through his book

Do not seek after it, other attainment

ذِكْرٌ بهِ تَرْقَى إلَى رُتبِ العُلا

فَتَخالُ حامِلَ آيِهِ مَحْمُولا

A mention by which you ascend to the highest ranks

A flag, and a honed sword, sharpened

يَذَرُ المُعارِضَ ذا الفصاحَةِ أَلْكَناً

في قولِهِ وأخا الحِجا مَخْبُولا

Or do you not see the religion of Hanif by his sword?

He made purification for it spilled blood, drained

لا تَنْصِبَنَّ لَهُ حِبالَ مُعانِدٍ

فَتُرَى بِكفَّةِ آيةٍ مَحبُولا

And polytheism is filth among people, and best

Is what you find with the blood of enemies, washed

إن كُنتَ تُنكِرُ مُعجِزاتِ مُحَمَّدٍ

يَوْماً فَكُنْ عَمَّا جَهِلْتَ سَؤولا

Calling by God's command, his voice was heard

By the two heaviest loads, as if Israfeel

شَهِدَت لهُ الرُّسلُ الكِرامُ وَأَشفَقَوا

مِن فاضِلٍ يَستَشهِدُ المَفضُولا

He only called them to what gives them life

Forever, as a doctor calls a patient, ill

قارَنتُ نُورَ النَّيِّرَينِ بِنُورِهِ

فَرَأَيتُ نُورَ النَّيِّرَيْنِ ضَئيلا

His resolves drive the slaves as if

His resolves took the sky as a path

ونَسَبتُ فضلَ العالَمِينَ لفضلِهِ

فَنسَبتُ مِنهُ إِلى الكَثيرِ قَليلا

Guiding to the abode of peace whoever fears

And tomorrow, enlightened by his book's light, bundled

وَأرانِيَ الزَّمَنُ الجَواد بجودِهِ

لَمَا وَزَنتَ بِهِ الزَّمانَ بَخِيلا

And he continues to guide the obstinate to hell by his sword

Of whoever disobeyed, after the slain, another slain

ما زالَ يَرقَى فِي مَواهِبِ رَبِّهِ

وَيَنالُ فضلاً مِن لَدُنهُ جَزِيلا

Until people say he made Malik tired

With his sword, and gave rest to Izraeel

حتَّى انْثَنَى أَغْنَى الوَرَى وَأَعَزُّهم

يَنْقادُ مُحْتاجاً إليهِ ذَليلا

So listen to his attributes that I mentioned for him

The minds almost reckoned all-encompassing

بَثَّ الفضائِلَ فِي الوجودِ فَمَنْ يُرِد

فضلاً يَزِدْهُ بِفَضلِهِ تفصيلا

Whose character is the glorious Quran

His speech could not be filled, dictated

فالشَّمسُ لا تُغنِي الكَواكِبُ جُمْلَةً

فِي الفَضْلِ مَغْناها وَلا تفضيلا

And when his signs come with praising him

I recite his mention modulated

سَلْ عَالَمَ المَلكُوتِ عنهُ فَخيرُ ما

سأَلَ الخَبِيرُ عَنِ الجَليلِ جَليلا

Indeed, a man afflicted by praising him

Is afflicted for his God, devoted

فَمَنِ المُخَبِّرُ عَن عُلاً مِن دونِها

ثَنَتِ البُراقَ وَأَخَّرَت جِبرِيلا

I make his mention to quench my thirst

And I think I have attained the Nile

فَلوِ استَمَدَّ العالمونَ عُلومَهُ

مَدَّتهُمُ القَطَراتُ منهُ سُيولا

And the Nile reminds me of his gentle origin

So I prolong from my longing his kissing

فَتَلَقَّ ما تَسطِيعُ مِنْ أَنْوَارِهِ

إنْ كانَ رَأْيُكَ فِي الفَلاحِ أَصيلا

Who could let me, from the origin of Muhammad

Attain with a kiss the sweet flowing spring?

فَلرُبَّمَا أَلْقَى عليكَ كِتابُهُ

قَولاً مِنَ السِّرِّ المَصُونِ ثَقِيلا

From a serenity that is like Kawthar in generosity

But its partaker increases boiling

ذاكَ الَّذِي رفَعَ الهُدَى بيمينِه

عَلَماً وجَرَّدَ صارِماً مَصْقُولا

The clouds sailed in obeying it as if

She commanded what Mikaeel chooses

أوَ ما تَرَى الدِّينَ الحَنِيفَ بِسَيْفِهِ

جَعَلَ الطّهورَ لهُ دَماً مَطلولا

Whenever he called and gestured, imploring with it

To the anchored bodies of water, continuous flow

وَالشِّركُ رِجسٌ فِي الأَنامِ وخيرُ ما

أَلفَيتَهُ بِدَمِ العِدَا مَغْسولا

And I think had he not wanted to stop it

It would have come with a flood not finding a path

داعٍ بِأَمرِ اللَّهِ أَسمَعَ صَوتُهُ ال

ثقلينِ حتى ظُنَّ إسْرافِيلا

And how many countries complained of his harm, so he dressed

Them after his prayer with recovery, crowned

لَم يَدعُهُم إِلَّا لِمَا يُحييهُمُ

أبداً كما يَدعُوا الطَّبِيبُ عَليلا

O mercy to the worlds! Did he not use to be

As a child, removing the worlds' harm, vanishing?

تَحْدُوا عَزَائمُهُ العِبادَ كأنَّما

تَخِذَتْ عزائِمُهُ الفضاءَ سَبيلا

When your uncle stood in the world imploring rain

The tails almost dragged in the mud

يُهْدِي إلى دار السَّلامِ مَنِ اتَّقَى

وغَدا بِنُورِ كِتابِهِ مَكْحُولا

And you relieved the year of the elephants of strife

In which you met the succeeding elephants

وَيَظَلُّ يُهْدِي لِلجَّحِيمِ بِسَيفِهِ

مِمَّنْ عَصَى بعدَ القتيلِ قتيلا

With clouds of birds, flocks, which

Rained upon them the stones of punishment, scorching

حتّى يقولَ النّاسُ أَتْعَبَ مالِكاً

بِحُسامِهِ وأَراحَ عِزرِيلا

So you ransomed while born, and protected their selves

Old and young alike, and the mature

فَاسمَع شَمائِلَهُ الَّتي ذِكري لَها

قدْ كادَ تَحْسِبُهُ العُقُولُ شَمُولا

Until when you stood among them warning

They showed you enmity and bitterness

مَن خُلقُهُ القرآنُ جَلَّ ثَناؤُهُ

عَن أَن يَكُونَ حَدِيثُهُ مَملولا

So you faced them alone with resolve unbending

And excellent perseverance, unwavering

وَإِذا أتَت آياتُهُ بِمَدِيحِهِ

رَتَّلتُ منها ذِكرَهُ تَرتِيلا

And you entrusted your matter to God - and what

Trust, in the victory of the one you took as guardian!

إنَّ امرَأً مُتَبَتِّلاً بِثَنائِهِ

مُتَبَتِّلٌ لِإلهِهِ تَبتِيلا

And you sought the pleasure of your Lord, their anger

So you drank from them a bitter drink, strained

إِنّي لَأُورِدُ ذِكرَهُ لِتَعَطُّشِي

فإخالُ أنّي قَد وَرَدتُ النِّيلا

And you continued uninterrupted reciting a verse among them

And arbitrating with the swords, humbling

وَالنِّيلُ يُذكِرُني كَرِيمَ بَنانِهِ

فأُطِيلُ مِن شَوقِي لهُ التَّقبِيلا

Until your religion ruled, His religion

And it removed the religion of disbelievers, vanishing

مَن لِي بِأَنّي مِن بَنانِ مُحَمَّدٍ

بِاللَّثمِ نِلتُ المَنهَلَ المَعسُولا

And the kings yielded to your authority, and you remained

Righteous, merciful to the weak and kind

مِن رَاحَةٍ هِيَ فِي السَّماحَةِ كَوثَرٌ

لكِنَّ وارِدَها يَزِيدُ غَلِيلا

You feared none but God in any matter, and your nature

No habit possessed, so it altered

سارَت بِطاعَتِها السَّحاب كَأَنَّما

أمَرَتْ بما تَختارُ مِيكائيلا

God gave the Chosen one a character bent toward

Loving God and fearing Him, molded

أنَّى دَعَا وأشارَ مُبْتَهِلاً بها

لِمِياهِ مُزْنٍ ما يَزالُ هَطُولا

His justice flooded humanity, so his friend

And his enemy are not wronged, even a wisp

وَأَظُنُّه لو لَمْ يُرِدْ إِقْلاعَهُ

لأَتَى بِسَيْلٍ ما يُصِيبُ مَسِيلا

And whenever God wanted to protect his ally

Desire left his heart, isolated

وَكَم اشْتَكَتْ بَلَدٌ أذاهُ فأُلْبِسَت

بِدُعائِهِ مِنْ صَحْوَةٍ إكليلا

The mountains of Mecca were offered to him in prostration

But he refused due to his poverty, though deprived

يا رَحْمَةً لِلعَالَمِينَ أَلَم يَكُن

طِفلاً لِضُرِّ العالَمِينَ مُزيلا

Do you blame me for prolonging his praise

One who counted the sea waves, prolonged?

إذ قامَ عَمُّكَ فِي الوَرَى مُستَسقِياً

كادَتْ تَجُرُّ عَلَى البِطَاحِ ذُيُولا

I have left the embellishment of speech

And taken its essence, extracted

وَرَفَعتَ عَامَ الفِيلِ عَنهُم فِتنَةً

أَلْفَيْتَ فيها التابِعينَ الفِيلا

What is upon one who extends a rope of praises

Tied to it a rope of affection, connected?

بِسَحائِبِ الطَّيْرِ الأَبَابِيلِ الّتي

جَادَتْهُمُ مَطَرَ الرَّدَى سِجِّيلا

I composed it in verse, but it outsped

The steeds to the goal, bundled

فَفَدَوكَ مَولوداً وَقَيتَ نُفُوسَهُم

شِيباً وَشُبَّاناً مَعاً وَكُهُولا

And the days were illuminated by his lights

So they brought along treasures and treasures

حتّى إِذا ما قُمتَ فيهِم مُنْذِراً

أَبدَوا إِلَيكَ عَداوَةً وذُحولا

I am a man whose heart loves Muhammad

And blames those faulting him, transgressive

فَلَقِيتَهُم فَرْداً بِعَزْمٍ ما انْثَنَى

يَوْماً وَحُسْنِ تَصَبُّرٍ ما عِيلا

Shall I love him but refrain from mentioning him?

A lover is not stingy toward one loved

وَوَكَلْتَ أَمْرَكَ لِلإلهِ وَيا لَها

ثِقَةً بَنَصْرِ مَنِ اتَّخَذْتَ وَكِيلا

I wish I was from a group who witnessed with him

Battles in times long past and struggle prolonged

وَأَطَلْتَ فِي مَرْضاةِ رَبِّكَ سُخْطَهُم

فَجَرَعتَ مِنهُم عَلقَماً مَغسُولا

To stand for him with saying and with sword

Never bending, strong in his pleasure, resolute

وَطَفِقتَ يَلقاكَ الصَّدِيقُ مُعادِياً

والسِّلْمُ حَرْباً والنَّصِيرُ خَذُولا

At times with consistent rhythm showing you its soundness

As the vain talk's prevention, disabled

ودَعَوتَهُم بالبَيِّنَاتِ مِنَ الهُدَى

وَهَزَزْتَ فيهمْ صارماً مَسْلولا

And with a strike whose string would make the armored fall

However the vain talk willed, regulated

وَأَقَمْتَ ذاكَ العَضْبَ فيهمْ قاضِيا

ونَصَبْتَ تلكَ البيِّنَاتِ عُدولا

And with a stab the spears sculpted, exemplifying

An eye for your eye in the competitor, like kohl

فَطَفِقْتَ لا تَنْفَكُّ تَتْلو آيةً

فيهمْ وَتَحْسِمُ بالحُسامِ تَلِيلا

In a standstill the armor covered, so no glance is seen

Except a canal bent

حتَّى قضَى بالنَّصْرِ دينُكَ دِينهُ

وغَدَا لِدِينِ الكافِرِين مُزيلا

So I sipped the cup of death in it greedily

And kissed the cheek of the martyr, drinker

وعَنَتْ لِسَطْوَتِكَ المُلوكُ وَلَمْ تَزَل

بَرّاً رَحِيماً بالضَّعِيفِ وَصُولا

And the horses swimming in the blood, wary

Of the palms of the warriors, from wounds

لَم تَخشَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ فِي أَمرٍ وَلَم

تَملِك طِبَاعَكَ عادَةٌ فَتَحُولا

So be thrilled when the swords sing - and best

What the battle-eager hears, is the clattering

اللَّه أَعْطَى المصطفى خُلقَاً عَلَى

حُبِّ الإلِهِ وَخَوْفِهِ مَجْبولا

By God, the heart turns away from him not

What a wary, protected heart bent

غَمَرَ البَرِيَّةِ عَدلُهُ فَصَدِيقُهُ

وعَدُوُّه لا يُظْلَمُونَ فَتِيلا

Does one hoard his wealth and soul from him

A youth who sees their loss as guaranteed?

وَإذَا أرَادَ اللَّهُ حِفظَ وَلِيِّهِ

خَرَجَ الهَوَى مِنْ قَلْبِهِ مَعْزُولا

So I will cut the ropes of my procrastination

That prevented anyone but him attaining

عُرِضَتْ عليهِ جبالُ مكَّةَ عَسْجَداً

فأبى لِفَاقَتِهِ وكانَ مُعِيلا

And I will prevent the eye with him its sleep

And make wakefulness for it a friend

أَمُعَنَّفِي أَنِّي أُطِيلُ مَدِيحَهُ

مَنْ عَدَّ مَوجَ البَحرِ عَدَّ طَوِيلا

And I will shoot at them the arrows angrily

Like spears, outstripping and uncompromising

إنِّي تَرَكْتُ مِنَ الكلامِ نُخَالَهُ

وأَخَذْتُ منه لُبابَهُ المَنْخُولا

From every oppressing falsifier I increased upon it

A neck, when I tasked it straightening

ماذا عَلَى مَنْ مَدَّ حَبْلَ مدائحٍ

فيهِ بحَبْلِ مَوَدَّةٍ مَوْصولا

It strode measuring the ceiling of the sky

As if it measured with a shaft, leaning

قَيَّدتُهُ بالنَّظمِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ

سَبَقَ الْجِيادَ إلى المَدَى مَشْكُولا

Until it shows you the letter from the rock of purity

Its footsteps with its blood laden

وأَضاءَتِ الأَيّامُ مِنْ أنوارِهِ

فَاستَصحَبَت غُرَراً بها وحُجُولا

As if it struck with a stone equal to it

From a smiling mouth, so they matched, killing

إنّي امرُؤٌ قَلبي يُحِبُّ مُحَمَّداً

ويَلومُ فيهِ لائِماً وَعَذُولا

It cut the ropes of distance when it busied

A longing for Tayba, an arm stretched

أَأُحِبُّهُ وَأَمَلُّ مِن ذِكرِي لَهُ

ليسَ المُحِبُّ لِمَنْ يُحِبُّ مَلُولا

Until I join in Tayba the bond

To which the lover returned, drawn

يا لَيْتَنِي مِنْ مَعْشَرٍ شَهِدُوا الوغَى

مَعَهُ زَماناً والكِفاحَ طَوِيلا

And I rest from the fatigue of sins, a self

Weighed down upon it with sins, carried

فَأَقُومَ عنه بِمِقْوَلٍ وبصارِمٍ

أبَداً قَؤُولا فِي رِضاهُ فعُولا

And it rejoices in forgiveness, a heart that did not cease

For some time, burdened by my wrongdoing

طَوْراً بِقَافِيةٍ يُرِيكَ ثَباتُها

كَفَّ الرَّدَى عَن عِرضِهِ مَشلولا

And I return with great grace, granted

And suffice is a grace from Him for me, interpreting

وبِضَرْبَةٍ يَدَعُ المُدَجَّجَ وِترُها

شَفْعاً كما شاء الرَّدَى مَجدُولا

And if matters become difficult, I am hopeful

In Muhammad for facilitating them

وبِطَعْنَةٍ جَلَتِ السِّنانَ فَمثَّلَت

عَيناً لِعَيْنِكَ فِي الكَمِيِّ كَحِيلا

O Lord, bestow upon the Prophet and bestow upon us

What our souls suggested to us, insinuating

فِي مَوقِفٍ غَشِيَ اللِّحَاظَ فلا يرَى

لَحْظٌ بهِ إِلَّا قَناةً مِيلا

And veil over us what You know we cannot bear

Of a disgraceful sin, humiliating

فَرَشَفتُ ثَغرَ المَوتِ فيهِ أَشنَبا

وَلَثَمْتُ خَدَّ المَشْرَفِيِّ أَسِيلا

And show mercy to the weak creation, when it sees

The terror of the Hereafter, displaying fright

والخَيْلُ تَسْبَحُ فِي الدِّماءِ وَتَتَّقِي

أَيْدِي الكُمَاة مِنَ النَّجِيعِ وُحُولا

A day the minds go astray, so the visions

Are fixed, fearful, and confused that time

فاطرَب إِذَا غَنَّى الحَدِيدُ فخيرُ ما

سَمِعَ المَشُوقُ إلى النِّزالِ صَليلا

And the criminals regret, at times

Showing lament, and at times wailing

تاللَّهِ يُثْنَى القلْبَ عنه ما ثَنَى

خَوْفُ المَنِيَّةِ عامِراً وَسَلولا

And the seeker of salvation remains turning

His gaze upon the intercessors, beautiful

أَيَضِنُّ عَنهُ بِمالِهِ وَبِنَفسِهِ

صَبٌّ يَرَى لَهُما الفَواتَ حُصُولا

So that his soul may attain from the thirst of the Resurrection

Drink, and from the heat of Hell, comfort

فَلأَقطَعَنَّ حِبالَ تَسْوِيفِي الّتي

مَنَعَت سِوَايَ إِلى حِماهُ وُصولا

And make for us, O God, the access of Muhammad

A connection delivering us the hopeful

وَلأَمنَعَنَّ العَينَ فيهِ مَنامَها

وَلأَجْعَلَنَّ لها السُّهَادَ خَلِيلا

And divert from us by it the punishment of Hellfire

Generously, and restrain its blazing flames

وَلأَرْمِيَنَّ لهُ الفِجاجَ بِضُمَّرٍ

كالنَّبْلِ سَبْقاً والقِسِيِّ نُحولا

And make your blessings eternal, descending

Upon his shrine, not ceasing glorification

مِن كلِّ دامِيَةِ الأَيَاطِلِ زِدتُها

عَنَقاً إذا كلَّفْتُها التَّمهِيلا

The breeze did not shake the twigs, and the leaves did not

Return with the winds' tunes twittering

سارَتْ تَقِيسُ ذِرَاعُها سَقفَ الفَلا

فكأنَّما قاسَتْ بِمِيل مِيلا

حَتَّى تُرِيكَ الحرْفَ مِن صَلدِ الصَّفا

أَخفافُها بدِمائِها مَشْكُولا

وَكأنَّما ضَرَبَت بِصَخرٍ مِثلَهُ

مِن مِبسمٍ فتكافئا تَقتيلا

قَطَعَت حِبالَ البُعْدِ لَمَّا أَعمَلَت

شَوْقاً لَطَيْبَة ساعِداً مَفْتُولا

حتّى أَضُمَّ بِطَيبَةَ الشَّملَ الَّذي

أنْضَى إليها العِرْمِسَ الشِّملِيلا

وَأُرِيحَ مِنْ تَعَبِ الخَطايا ذِمَّةً

ثَقُلَت علَيها لِلذُّنوبِ حُمُولا

وَيُسَرُّ بالغُفرانِ قلبٌ لَمْ يَزَل

حِيناً بِطُولِ إساءَتي مَشكولا

وأَعُودَ بالفضلِ العظيمِ مُنَوَّلاً

وَكَفَى بِفضلٍ منه لي تَنْوِيلا

وإذا تعَسَّرَتِ الأُمورُ فإنّني

راجٍ لها بِمُحَمَّدٍ تَسْهِيلا

يا رَبِّ هَبنا للنبيِّ وَهَب لنا

ما سَوَّلَتهُ نُفُوسُنا تَسوِيلا

واستُر علينا ما عَلِمتَ فَلَم يُطِق

مِنَّا امْرُؤٌ لِخَطِيئَةٍ تَخجِيلا

وَاعطِف عَلَى الخَلقِ الضَّعِيفِ إِذَا رَأى

هَولَ المَعادِ فأَظهَرَ التَّهوِيلا

يَوْمٌ تَضِلُّ به العُقُولُ فَتَشْخَصُ ال

أَبْصَارُ خَوْفاً عندهُ وَذُهولا

وَيُسِرُّ فيهِ المُجرِمُونَ نَدَامَةً

حيناً وحيناً يُظْهِرُونَ عَوِيلا

وَيَظَلُّ مُرْتَادُ الخَلاصِ مُقَلِّباً

فِي الشَّافِعِينَ لِحَاظَهُ وَمُجِيلا

لِتنالَ مِنْ ظَمَإ القيامَةِ نفسُهُ

رِيّاً ومِن حَرِّ السَّعِيرِ مَقيلا

وَاجعَل لنا اللَّهُمَّ جَاهَ مُحَمَّدٍ

فَرَطاً تُبَلِّغُنَا بهِ المَأْمولا

واصرِف بِهِ عنَّا عَذابَ جَهَنَّمٍ

كَرَماً وكُفَّ ضِرامَها المَشْعُولا

واجعَل صَلاتَكَ دائِماً مُنهَلَّةً

لَم تُلفِ دونَ ضَرِيحِهِ تَهْلِيلا

ما هَزَّتِ القُضبَ النَّسِيمُ وَرَجَّعَتْ

وَرقَاءُ فِي فَنَنِ الأَراكِ هَدِيلا
