صفوة اللَه مِن جَميع الخُصوص

سَيد حَل في مَحَل الخلوص

The chosen one of Allah among all mankind

The master took the place of sincerity

صادق القَول لَم تثنه عُيوب

فَتَأمل في نَعته المَقصوص

Truthful in speech, he was not deterred by faults

So contemplate his abbreviated attributes

صَرحوا أن أَول الخَلق طَه

هَكَذا جاءَ في جَميع النُصوص

They declared that the first of creation was Taha

Thus it came in all the texts

صَح عَن جابر بِذاكَ حَديثاً

ثابت نَقله بِشَرح الفُصوص

It was authentic from Jabir with that hadith

Transmitted and explained clearly

صاغَهُ اللَهُ مِن وَقار وَحلم

وَحماه مِن كُل خَطب عَويص

Allah molded him with dignity and forbearance

And protected him from all difficult affairs

صحبه القائِمون لِلّه طَوعاً

كَبِناء عَلى التُقى مَرصوص

His companions were willingly obedient to Allah

Like a solid building based on piety

صَدقوه وَصابَروا في رضاه

كُل جلف وَفاسق مَنقوص

They believed him and persevered patiently in his satisfaction

While every rude and corrupt one was deficient

صدعوا بِالقنا قُلوب أُناس

لَم يَروا عَن قِتالهم مِن مَحيص

They split open the hearts of people with swords

Who did not see any escape from fighting them

صَبَروا في الوَغى فَأَضحَت عداهم

بَينَ شلو وَهارب موقوص

They endured the battle so their enemies

Became between disabled and fleeing ones deficient

صل يا رَبنا وَسَلم عَلَيه

بِسَلام منقح مَخصوص

Pray O Lord and bestow peace upon him

With a special and selective peace
