يا مَعشَرَ الرُؤَساءِ وَالأَصحابِ

وَجَماعَةَ السُؤّالِ وَالطُلّابِ

O leaders and companions,

And group of questioners and students,

مَن كانَ مَولانا عَليهِ ساخِطاً

أَو كانَ طالِبَ نائِلٍ وَثَوابِ

Whoever has anger towards our Master,

Or is a seeker wishing rewards,

أَو كانَ صاحِبَ حاجَةٍ لا تَنبَغي

بِوَسيلَةٍ مَسدودَةِ الأَبوابِ

Or has a need that is not appropriate,

With blocked ways and doors,

فَليَتَّخِذني شافِعاً فَشَفاعَتي

في حَقِّهِ مِن أَوكَدِ الأَسبابِ

Then let him take me as an intercessor, for my intercession,

Regarding him, is the firmest of causes,

وَأَنا الكَفيلُ بِأَنَّها لا تَنقَضي

أَبَداً مَدى الأَيّامِ وَالأَحقابِ

And I guarantee that it will never end,

For ever and ever,

في كُلِّ يَومٍ رُقعَةٌ مُسوَدَّةٌ

وَدَعا بِحَمدِ اللَهِ غَيرُ مُجابِ

Every day a petition is submitted,

And a call with praise of Allah remains unanswered,

وَكَذا تَكونُ مَواقِعُ الشُعَراءِ مِن

رُؤَسائِهِم وَمَواضِعُ الكُتّابِ

And so are the places of poets among,

Their chiefs, and the positions of writers.
