أَقيكَ بِنَفسي أَيُّها المُصطفى الَّذي

هَدانا بِهِ الرَحمَنُ مِن عَمَهِ الجَهلِ

I shield you with my own soul, O Chosen One, through whom

The Most Merciful guided us out of the wandering of ignorance;

وَأَفديكَ حَوبائي وَما قَدر مُهجَتي

لِمَن أَنتَمي فيهِ إِلى الفَرعِ وَالأَصلِ

I ransom you with my spirit—yet what is the worth of my lifeblood

For him to whom I am kin in branch and in root?

وَمَن ضَمَّني مُذ كُنتُ طِفلاً وَيافِعاً

وَأَنعَشَني بِالعِلِّ مِنهُ وَبِالنَهلِ

He who embraced me since I was a child and a growing youth,

And refreshed me with the second draught and the first,

وَمِن جَدِّهِ جَدي وَمِن عَمهِ أَبي

وَمِن نَجلِهِ نَجلي وَمِن بِنتِهِ أَهلي

From whose grandfather comes my grandfather, and from whose uncle, my father,

From whose line comes my line, and from whose daughter, my household;

وَمِن حينِ آخى بَينَ مَن كانَ حاضِراً

هُنالِكَ آخاني وَبَيَّنَ مِن فَضلي

And from the time he paired in brotherhood those who were present,

It was there he named me brother and revealed my merit.

لَكَ الفَضلُ إِني ما حَييتُ لَشاكِرٍ

لِاتمامِ ما أَولَيتَ يا خاتَمَ الرُسُلِ

Yours is the favor; indeed, as long as I live, I am thankful

For the perfection of what you conferred, O Seal of the Messengers.
