روض سقته من الوسمي أَمطار

فَأَشرَقَت مِنهُ أَنوار وَنوار

A garden watered by the rains of al-Wusmi

From which lights and illuminations have shone

تَنَوعَت فيهِ أَصناف المَحاسن إِذ

تَخالَفَت مِنهُ أَوراد وأَزهار

In it various kinds of beauties appeared when

Its roses and flowers differed

راقَت وَرَقت بِهِ ريح الصبا فَلذا

تَرقرَقت وَأريقت مِنهُ أَنهار

The breeze of morning blew upon it, so

Its streams gurgled and flowed from it

وَصفقت عذبات البان وَانخفضت

كَأَنَّما هُن بَينَ الرَوض أَبكار

The obedient ripples of pools clapped

As if they were maidens among the garden

وَنقط الطل أَوراق الغُصون بِهِ

لِكُل واحدة مِنهُن دينار

Dew dotted the leaves of branches in it

For each of them a gold coin

وَالتف بالبان قَيصوم الجنان ضحى

كَأَنَّما هُوَ للقضبان زنار

And the thickets of gardens embraced at dawn

As if it were a necklace for the twigs

وَالطَير يَهتف وَالشحرور منبسط

وَالعَندَليب لَهُ رجع وَتكرار

The birds chirp and the insects are outstretched

And the nightingale repeats and reiterates

وَالغُصن يَرقص وَالشادي يحركه

كَأَنَّما هُوَ سنطير وَمزمار

The branch dances and the wind stirs it

As if it were a pipe and a flute

وَالأَرض تضحك مِن سح الغمام بِها

وَكَم لَهُ نعم فيها وَآثار

And the land laughs from the rain pouring on it

And how many favors it has on it and traces

كَأَن نَعل رَسول اللَه مر بِها

فَاخضر مِن مسه ريف وَأَمصار

As if the slipper of the Messenger of God passed over it

So its countryside and cities became green

نعل بها قدم الهادي الأَمين ثَوَت

فَفيه مِن قدم المُختار أَسرار

The slipper in which the foot of the trustworthy guide settled

So in it are the secrets of the feet of the Chosen

نعل مَشَت في قباب العَرش وَارتفعت

عَلى البساط بِذا جاءتك أَخبار

A slipper that walked on the domes of the Throne and ascended

To the Highest Company, so reports came to you

مرغ بخدك تمثالاً لَها فَله

فَضل كَما وَرَدَت في ذاكَ آثار

Rub your cheek on it, for it is a statue for it

So it has virtue as mentioned in those traces

وَامسح جُفونك كيما تستضيء بِه

فَإنما هُوَ للابصار ابصار

And wipe your eyelids so that you may be illuminated by it

For it is enlightenment for sights

وَاذكر وَصل عَلى ذاك النَبي فَكَم

بذكره غفرت للناس أَوزار

And mention and send your peace upon that prophet, for how much

Sins of people are forgiven by his mention

الطاهر الفاخر الزاكي الكَريم وَمَن

لأجله رفعت للقرب أستار

The pure, splendid, righteous, generous, and whoever

For his sake veils of nearness were lifted

من مثله وَأَمين الوحي خادمه

وَفي رَكائبه الأَملاك قَد ساروا

Who is like him, the trusted bearer of revelation, his servant

And in his litters angels travelled

حَتّى دَنا قاب قَوسين الوصال فَفي

دنوه أَنبياء اللَه قَد حاروا

Until near a bow span was the union, so in

His nearing the prophets of God were perplexed

وَالعَرش أَشرَق مِن أَنوار غرته

إِذ مِنهُ قَد سَطَعت في الكَون أَنوار

And the Throne shone from the pride of his lights

When from it lights shone throughout existence

ناداه مَولاه أَهلاً بِالحَبيب فَطب

قلباً فَإِنَك نعم الخل وَالجار

His Master welcomed him saying, “Hello to the beloved, so good

Hearted you are, for you are the best neighbor and companion."

أَنتَ المشفع في يَوم المعاد إِذا

قل النصير وَأَبدت حَرَها النار

You are the intercessor on the Day of Judgment when

The victors are few and the Fire bares its flames

فَرد يرفل في ثَوب الوَقار وَفي

فُؤاده مِن كنوز العلم أَوقار

So he returned dressed in the garb of dignity and in

His heart were treasures of knowledge and dignities

وَانشق للمُصطفى البَدر التَمام كَما

قَد حَدثتنا بِهَذا عَنهُ أَخيار

And the full moon split for the Chosen one just as

The best of us have narrated this story about him

وَالظَبي وَالضب وَالأَشجار شاهدة

عَلى نبوته وَالسُم وَالغار

And the gazelle, the wolf, and the trees bear witness

To his prophecy, the poison, and the cave

وَسَل سراقة ماذا قَد رَأى وَكَفى

فَخراً فَفي ذاكَ تَنويه وَإِنذار

And Suraqa—what did he see? And enough

Pride, so in that is notification and warning

وَأعظم الكُل قرآن بِهِ قصص

وَحكمة وَمَواعيظ وَأَخبار

And greatest of all is the Quran in which are stories

And wisdom, admonitions, and reports

أَلفاظه كَعقود الدر ساطعة

وَآيه لظلام الجَهل أَقمار

Its words are like strands of pearls gleaming

And its verses are moons for the darkness of ignorance

رَقت مَعانيه إِذ دَقت لَطائفه

فَأَمعَنَت فيهِ ألباب وَأَفكار

Its meanings are gentle when its subtleties are delicate

So minds and thoughts have pondered upon it

كَفى بِهِ لأولي الأَلباب تبصرة

أَن أَنصفوا وَبحكُم العَقل ما جاروا

It is enough for people of intellect as insight

That they be fair and judge with reason, not unjustly

بِهِ هدى اللَه أَقواماً وَأَيدهُم

فَأَصبَحوا وَعَلى المنهاج قَد ساروا

With it God guided some people and supported them

So they became guided and walked the straight path

وَقَد أَضَل بِهِ قَوماً فَكَم لَهُم

بَصائر قَد عَمت مِنهُ وَأَبصار

And with it He led some people astray, so how many

Visions they are deprived of and sights they are denied

يا صاحب الوَحي وَالتَنزيل وَالشَرف الض

ضخم الجَليل وَمَن طابَت بِهِ الدار

O possessor of revelation and the descending and the tremendous

Glory and the one in whom the house became good

وَالسَيد العلم الفَرد الَّذي انتَقَلَت

مِن وَجهِهِ لِجَميع الناس أَنوار

And the master, the unique knowledge, the individual whom

From his face lights have shone for all people

المُصطَفى المجتَبى مِن كُل مُنتخب

وَمَن نَمته إِلى العَلياء أطهار

The chosen, the selected from all select

And the one whose nature is the purest traits

وَمَظهر الحَق وَالنهج القَويم وَمَن

بشرعه كان للتَوحيد إِظهار

The manifestation of truth, the straight path, and the one

By whose law the declaration of Oneness appeared

وَالصارع الصادق الصدق الصَفي وَمن

صَفا فَصفي وَجلت مِنه أَقدار

The honest combatant, the sincere, the pure, and the one

Whose sincerity made him chosen and extolled by destiny

أَغث فَقيراً دَعاكَ اليَوم مُنزَعِجاً

عَلى غَواربه حمل وقنطار

Help a poor man who calls upon you today troubled

Bearing burdens of sins and enormous weights

قَد عامَ في ذَنبه التَيار مِن صغر

وَما له في اقتراف الوزر أَعذار

The currents of youthful folly have acted in his sin

And he has no excuse for perpetrating misdeeds

وَقد عرته ديون لا يطيق لَها

حملاً وَلا درهم مِنها وَدينار

And debts have exposed him which he cannot bear

Their burden and does not have a single dirham or dinar

وَلاذَ بالحرم المَحمي نازله

وَإِن أَلم بِهِ فَقر وَإعسار

And he has sought refuge in the protected sanctuary

Even if poverty and destitution have afflicted him

فَامنع بِحَقك عَنهُ كُل مُعضلة

فَإِن رَبك لِلأوزار غفار

So prevent with your right every difficult issue from him

For your Lord forgives sins

صَلى عَليك صَلاة لا انقِطاع لَها

ما صَفقت في حَواشي الرَوض أَشجار

Blessings upon you, blessings that have no end

As long as trees clap in the peripheries of the garden
