عن المصطفى صلوا عليه وسلموا

مسائل نصت فافهموها وأفهموا

Pray upon the Chosen One, peace and blessings be upon him,

Listen attentively to these questions and understand,

زيادة دنيانا فخمس وبعدها

فعشرون قسماً حكمها يتقسم

The first five are for worldly increase - wealth, status, children, life span and family.

The next twenty are matters judged and determined.

فخمس لعمري أسندت وهي بالقضا

وغير القضا ما ليس فيهن يحكم

Five are destined by fate - unchangeable by any authority.

The other fifteen can be ruled upon.

هم الأهل والسلطان والنسل والغنى

وخامسها العمر الطويل المتمم

Family, ruler, progeny, and wealth.

And fifth - the fullness of years to their completion.

وخمس أتت بالاجتهاد فعفهةً

فروسيةً خط جنان جهنم

Another five come through strife - chastity, horsemanship, calligraphy, gardens, hellfire.

Five more by habit - bowel movements, marriage, eating, troubled sleep.

وخمس فبالعادات مشي تغوط

نكاح وأكل والنعاس المهوم

By essence - wisdom, communication, generosity, righteousness, truthfulness.

These twenty five have come, and I hope

وبالجوهر الحلم التواصل والسخا

كذاك الصلاح الصدق حيث يهوم

God will forgive and have mercy,

Upon the Chosen One, his companions and family,

فذي الخمس والعشرون جاءت وإنني

لراجٍ بأن اللَه يعفو ويرحم

And his progeny. Pray upon him and bless him.

على المصطفى والصاحبيه وآله

وعترته صلوا عليه وسلموا
