اختم بذكر محمدٍ فذكره

يزكو شَذا مسك الختام ويعبقُ

Conclude with the mention of Muhammad, for his mention

Purifies like the scent of musk sealing wax, and makes fragrant

وانظم قلائد مدحه فنظامُها

در على جيد المحامد ينسقُ

And string together necklaces praising him, for their composition

Is pearls upon the neck of praises, well-arranged

وأرقمْ صحائفك الحسانَ بوصفه

فبه تروق الناظرين وتؤنقُ

And inscribe your parchment sheets with his attributes

For through him do gazers become elegant and graceful

وأعلم بأن كتاب مادح أحمدٍ

نور بآفاق الهداية يشرق

And know that the book praising Ahmed

Is light with horizons of guidance shining

واستوهب الرحمن صادق حبِّه

فبحبه فاز الهداةُ السّبق

And beg the Merciful for His sincere love

For through His love did the guided ones win the race

وابعث إليه تحيةً يسري بها

ركب ينضّ بشوقها أو يعنق

And send him a greeting, with which

A riding company moves out of yearning, or embraces

وصل الصلاةَ عليه فهي وسيلةٌ

بصلاتها دوح السعادة يورق

And join in prayer upon him, for it is a means

By which the foliage of happiness, through his prayer, grows green
