مَوْلاَيَ هَا أَنا فِي جِوَارِ أَبِيكَا

فَابْذُلْ مِنَ الْبِرِّ الْمُقَدَّرِ فِيكَا

My Master, here I am in the vicinity of your father

So grant from the ordained kindness that lies in you

أَسْمِعْهُ مَا يُرْضِيهِ مِنْ تَحْتِ الثَّرَى

وَاللهُ يُسْمِعُكَ الَّذِي يُرْضِيكَا

Let him hear what pleases him beneath the soil

And Allah will let you hear what pleases you

وَاجْعَلْ رِضَاهُ إِذَا نَهَدْتَ كتِيبَةً

تُهْدِي إِلَيْكَ النَّصْرَ أَوْ تَهْدِيكَا

And make his approval, when you lead a battalion

Bring you victory or guide you

وَاجْبُرْ بِجَبْرِي قَلْبَهُ تَنَلِ الْمُنَى

وَتُطَالِعْ الْفَتْحَ الْمُبِينَ وَشِيكَا

And mend with my mending his heart to attain wishes

And behold the manifest opening which is near

فَهُوَ الَّذِي سَنَّ الْبُرُورَ بِأُمَّهِ

وَأَبِيهِ فَاشْرعْ شَرْعَهُ لِبَنِيكَا

For he was the one who legislated kindness to his mother

And father so follow his way with your sons

وَابْعَثْ رَسُولَكَ مُنْذِراً وَمُحَذِّراً

وَبِمَا تُؤَمَّلُ نَيْلَهُ يَأْتِيكَا

And send your messenger warning and cautioning

And with what you hope to attain he will come to you

قّدْ هَزَّ عَزْمُكَ كُلَّ قُطْرٍ نَازِحٍ

وَأَخَافَ مَمْلُوكاً بِهِ وَمَلِيكَا

Your resolve has shaken every retreating region

And frightened a slave in it and a king

فَإِذَا سَمَوْتَ إِلَى مَرَامٍ شَاسِعٍ

فَغُصُونُهُ ثَمَرَ الْمُنَى تَجْنِيكَا

So when you rise to a vast purpose

Its branches will bear the fruits of wishes for you

ضَمِنَتْ رَجَاءُ اللهِ مِنْكَ مَطَالِبِي

لَمَّا جَعَلْتُكَ فِي الثَّوابِ شَرِيكَا

The hopes in Allah from you guaranteed my requests

When I made you a partner in the reward

فَلَئِنْ كَفَيْتَ وُجُوهَهَا فِي مَقْصَدِي

وَرَعَيْتَهَا بَرَكَاتُهَا تَكْفِيكَا

So if you sufficed their aspects in my pursuit

And herded them, her blessings will suffice you

وَإِذَا قَضَيْتَ حَوَائِجِي وَأَرَيْتَنِي

أَمَلاً فَرَبُّكَ مَا أَرَدْتَ يُرِيكَا

And when you fulfilled my needs and saw me

Hopeful, then your Lord will show you what you desired

وَاشْدُدْ عَلَى قَوْلِي يَداً فَهُوَ الَّذِي

بُرْهَانُهُ لاَ يَقْبَلُ التَّشْكِيكَا

And take strongly my word for it is He whose

Proof cannot be doubted

مَوْلاَيَ مَا اسْتَأْثَرْتُ عَنْكَ بِمُهْجِتِي

أَنَّى وَمُهْجَتِي الَّتِي تَفْدِيكَا

My Master, I did not monopolize my love from you

How could I when my love redeems you

لَكِنْ رَأَيْتُ جَنَابَ شَالَّة مَغْنَماً

يُضْفِي عَلَيَّ الْعِزَّ فِي نَادِيكَا

But I saw the side of glory bring me honor

In your family

وَفُروضُ حَقّكَ لاَ تَفُوتُ فَوَقْتُهَا

بَاقٍ إِذَا اسْجْزَيْتَهُ يَجْزِيكَا

And your rights are not missed, I awaited them

Remaining when you reward them they reward you

وَوَعَدْتَنِي وَتَكَرَّرَ الْوَعْدُ الَّذِي

أَبَتِ الْمَكَارِمُ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَفيكَا

And you promised me and the promise was repeated that

The generous refused to be untrue in you

بِبَقَائِكَ الدُّنْيَا تُحَاطُ وَأَهْلُهَا

فَاللهُ جَلَّ جَلاَلُهُ يُبْقِيكَا

With your survival, the world is surrounded and its people

So Allah, majestic is His majesty, keeps you
