مِن ثَنايا العذراءِ لاح بريق

فجَرى مِن دموعِ عيني عقيقُ

From the folds of the immaculate one shone a light

So from my eyes ran liquid ruby tears

حبّذا حبّذا معاهدُ سلعٍ

وَربوعٌ فيها الحبيبُ الحقيقُ

How excellent, how excellent were the treaty grounds of Sulh

And its meadows where dwells the true beloved

أَحمدٌ حامدٌ محمّدٌ المح

مودُ خير الورى النبيّ الصدوقُ

Ahmad the ever-praising, Muhammad the trusted prophet

The best of mankind, the truthful and gentle messenger

سادَ كلَّ الوَرى بكلّ كمالٍ

خيرُ حرٍّ للَّه عبدٌ رقيقُ

He brought perfection to the whole world

The best freeman of God, a tender servant

ليسَ للَّه عزّ جلّ تعالى

غيرهُ للأنامِ طرّاً طريقُ

None but him does God, Mighty and Glorious be He

For people provide as path and guide

لَم يوفَّق موفّقٌ قطّ إلّا

جاءَه مِن طريقه التوفيقُ

Never was any guided to success

Unless he came to him for guidance

فَعَليه لربّه وحدَه الحق

قُ وكلٌّ له عليهم حقوقُ

For his Lord alone rightfully

Belongs obedience, and to each person duties are due

خُلقَ العالمونَ مِن نوره فه

وَ ببرِّ الأبناء منهم خليقُ

The worlds were created from his light, so he

Is parent to the righteous among them

والدُ الكلّ في الحقيقة لكن

بعضُ أبنائهِ لديهم عقوقُ

Parent of all in reality, though some

Of his children are to him disobedient

خَلَق اللَّه خلقه ففريقٌ

لِجنانٍ وللسعيرِ فريقُ

God created His creation, so a group

Is for the gardens, and a group for hellfire
