در ثَدي الوِصال عِندَ الورود

فَشَرِبنا وَغابَ كُل حَسود

In the bosom of union, at the meadows,

We drank while every envier disappeared.

دامَ عز لَنا وَدام فَخار

إِذ سَمَونا بِأَحمَد المَحمود

May glory endure for us and pride persist,

Since we aspired to Ahmad, the Praised.

دان كُل الوَرى لَهُ وَاستَقَلت

لِمَعاليه شاهِقات الحُدود

The whole world submitted to him,

And for his greatness, the limits bowed.

دمر الشرك بِالقَنا وَالمَواضي

مِن ليوث وَفتية كَالأُسود

He destroyed polytheism with spears and meadows,

With young lions and brave youth like black lions.

دار في غَيهب الزَمان ضياه

فَهوَ البَدر في اللَيالي السود

He appeared during the darkness of time as a bright moon in the dark nights.

The mind was amazed at the attributes of a prophet,

دهش العَقل مِن صفات نَبي

شابَ مِن خَوفه بِسورة هود

Who was distressed by Surat Hud in his youth out of fear.

I have weakened in battles for his sake,

دميت في مَعارك الحَرب مِنه

قَدم قَد تَمَكنت في السُجود

While my feet firmly stood in prostration.

Without him, souls became humiliated but,

دونه هانَت النُفوس وَلَكن

أَصبَحَت من غَرامه في قُيود

Out of passion for him, they became shackled.

The pearl of her Lord wanted to meet Him,

دُرة رَبِها أَرادَ لقاها

لِيُباهي بِها جَميع الوجود

To boast with her to all existence.
