يا مصطفى من قبل نشأة آدم

قد كنت نوراً زانه الإشراقُ

O Mustafa, before Adam came into being,

you were a light whose adornment was radiance.

وفتحت ختم الفيض من كنز العما

والكون لم تفتح له أغلاق

You opened the seal of divine effusion from the treasury of the Cloud,

while the cosmos had not yet had its locks opened.

أيروم مخلوقٌ ثناءك بعد ما

كنت الثناء وشأنك الإطلاق

Could any created being aspire to praise you, after

you were praise itself—and unboundedness is your state?

وظهرت من حمد الوجود بمظهرٍ

أثنى على أخلاقك الخلّاق

You appeared from the boundary of existence in a manifestation

through which the Creator praised your character.
