زَعَموني أحبُّ هنداً وميّا

قَد أتى الزاعمونَ شيئاً فريّا

They claimed I loved Hind and Mayya

The claimants have come up with something fantastic

ما لِهندٍ ولا لميٍّ نصيبٌ

في فؤادِ اِمرئٍ أحبّ النبيّا

Neither Hind nor Mayya have a share

In the heart of a man who loved the Prophet

مُصطفى اللَّه مِن جميع البرايا

مُجتباهُ حبيبهُ القرشيّا

Mustafa, whom Allah chose from all of mankind

His beloved, the Qurayshi

أشرَقت شمسُ فضله فرآها

كلُّ مَن لم يكن غبيّاً غويّا

The sun of his virtue shone, so

Everyone who was not foolish or misguided saw it

جاءَ والناسُ عن هُدى اللَّه ضلّوا

فَهداهم له الصراطَ السويّا

He came while people had lost the guidance of Allah

So he guided them to the straight path

قد أقامَ الدليلَ فيهم كلام ال

لَهِ أَو لا فالصارمَ المشرفيّا

He established proof among them, speech that

Either has it or not, the honorable and glorious sword

راقَ للعالمينَ عذب هداهُ

وَعَلى العرشِ قد أناف رقيّا

The sweetness of his guidance appealed to all people

And he climbed high on the Throne

كَم عظيمٍ بينَ الورى اِمتاز لكن

لَم يحُز غيره الكمالَ الوفيّا

How great he was among people on earth yet

None but him attained complete and perfect virtue

فَعَليه يا ربّ صلّ صلاة

تجمعُ الفضلَ لا تغادر شيّا

So bless him, O Lord, with a prayer

That combines all merit and leaves out nothing

وَاِعفُ عنّي بهِ وبارِك بعمري

وَاِجعلِ الختمَ فيه مِسكاً ذكيّا

And pardon me through him and bless my life

And make my end with him a fragrant musk
