وافَتْ إلَيَّ مِنَ الْمَقامِ الأَشْرَفِ

كالبَدْرِ في أَوْجْ الْكَمالِ الْمُنْصفِ

She came to me from the most noble abode

Like the full moon at its peak of perfection

للهِ دَرُّ عَوارِفٍ ومَعارِفٍ

وَمَناقِبٍ ثَبَتَتْ بِغَيْرِ تَكَلُّفِ

Praise be to God for her virtues and knowledge

And merits established without affectation

يا ناصِحَ الْقُرْباءِ والْبُعَداءِ ما

شَابَ النَّصِيحَةَ منْهُ شَوْبُ تَعَجْرُفِ

O sincere advisor of kin and stranger alike

Your advice remains untainted by arrogance

يا طَاهِرَ النَّفَثاتِ بَلْ يا طَاهِرَ الثَّفِ

نَاتِ أَنْتَ بِلا مِرَا الْخِلُّ الْوَفِي

O you of pure utterances, rather of pure essence

You are the loyal friend without equal

تَسْعَى إلى الْمَعْروفِ في سِرٍّ وَفي

جَهْرٍ وعنْدَ تَنَكُّر وتَعَرُّفِ

You strive for good in secret and openly

When unrecognised and when known

وتَصُونُ في كُلِّ المجَامِعِ عِرْضَ مَنْ

نَهَشَتْهُ أَقْوالُ الْعَدُوّ المسْرِفِ

And you safeguard the honor of those

Whose repute the excessive slanderer tore

وَتَقُومُ في حَقِّ الإلَهِ وَلا تَرَى

في الْحَقِّ إدْهاناً لِفَرْطِ تَعَسُّفِ

And you stand for the right of God, not seeing

In truth a means for excessive force

لَوْ رُمْتَ في كَرَمِ الطّباعِ شَهادَةً

شَهِدَ الْوَرَى طُرّاً بِغَيْرِ تَوَقُّفِ

If you were to speak of your noble nature

Witnesses would testify without hesitation

يا رَبِّ زِدْهُ فَضائِلاً وفَواضِلاً

فَهُوَ الذي بِعِبادِكَ الْبَرُّ الْحَفي

My Lord, increase his virtues and merits

For he is the righteous among Your servants

يا شَيْخَ آلِ مُحَمّدٍ إنّي أَرَى

مِنْكَ الدُّعَا ذُخْراً لِيَوْمِ الموقِفِ

O Sheikh of Muhammad’s family, I see

In you a treasure for the Day of Reckoning

فَدُعاءُ آلِ مُحَمدٍ لِمُحَمدٍ

لا شَكَّ عِنْدِي إنَّهُ اللّطْفُ الْخَفِي

So the prayer of Muhammad’s family for Muhammad

I have no doubt, is a hidden grace.
