مَوْلايَ سِتٌّ من الظّلامِ مَضَتْ

كالمِسْكِ في صِبْغةٍ وفي أرَجِ

My Master, six nights of darkness have passed

Like musk in dye and fragrance

أجْزاءُ لَيْلٍ مرّتْ كما انْطلقَتْ

كَفٌّ على سُبْحةٍ منَ السَّبَجِ

Parts of a night went by as they flew

Like a palm on beads of rosary

الى مَحَلِّ القَبولِ قدْ عرَجَتْ

بفِعْلِكَ البرِّ خَيْرَ مُنْعَرَجِ

To the abode of acceptance they ascended

Through your righteous action, the best ascent

فاسْلَم أبا سالِمِ لِنَهْجِ هُدَى

جدّدَهُ منْكَ أيُّ مُبْتَهِجِ

So submit, O Father of Salim, to the path of guidance

Renewed through you, O most joyful one

فَلَيْلَةُ المَوْلِدِ الكريمِ على

تَقْواكَ للّهِ أصْدَقُ الحُجَجِ

The night of the noble birth, upon

Your piety for Allah, is the truest proof
