آلَيتُ جميعِ النّاسِ مجْتهِداً

مِنّي أَلِيَّةَ بَرٍّ غَيرِ إِفنادِ

I exerted myself to be kind to all people,

From me, kindness without limit.

تَاللَهِ ما حَمَلَت أُنثى وَلا وَضَعَت

مِثلَ النَبِيِّ رَسولِ الرَحمَةِ الهادي

By Allah, no female has carried or given birth

To the like of the Prophet, the messenger of mercy and guidance.

وَلا بَرا الله خلْقاً مِنْ بَريّتِهِ

أَوفى بِذِمَّةِ جارٍ أَو بِميعادِ

Nor has Allah created among his creation

One more true to the covenant of a neighbor or an appointment.

مِنَ الَّذي كانَ نوراً يُستَضاءُ بِهِ

مَبارَكَ الأَمرِ ذا حَزمٍ وَإِرشادِ

Than he who was a light by which

Blessed affairs, resolute and guiding, were illuminated.

مُصَدِّقاً لِلنَبِيِّينَ الأُلى سَلَفوا

وَأَبذَلَ الناسِ لِلمَعروفِ لِلجادي

Confirming the prophets who passed before,

And who was most generous of people in benevolence to the needy.

خَيرَ البَرِيَّةِ إِنّي كُنتُ في نَهَرٍ

جارٍ فَأَصبَحتُ مِثلَ المُفرَدِ الصادي

The best of creations - I was a close companion

Then I became like one solitary and calling aloud.

أَمسى نِساؤُكَ عَطَّلنَ البُيوتَ فَما

يَضرِبنَ فَوقَ قَفا سِترٍ بِأَوتادِ

Your wives have neglected their homes, so they

Do not strike above the neck's nape with a veil.

مِثلَ الرَواهِبِ يَلبَسنَ المُسوحَ وَقَد

أَيقَنَّ بِالبُؤسِ بَعدَ النِعمَةِ البادي

Like nuns they don cloaks, yet they

Are certain of misery after comfort has perished.
