1. قَالُوا بِمَا تَلْقَى الإلَ

    هَ وَأنْتَ عَاصٍ مُعْتَدِ

    They said, “With what will you meet God,

    while you are a sinner and a transgressor?”

  2. فَقُلْت بِالْوَجْهِ الَّذِي

    لِغَيْرِهِ لَمْ يَسْجُدِ

    So I said, “With the face that

    has never prostrated to anyone but Him,

  3. وَبِامْتِدَاحِ حَبِيبِهِ

    خَيْرِ الأنَامِ مُحَمَّدِ

    and by praising His beloved,

    the best of creation, Muhammad,

  4. طَهَ بنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَنْ

    حَازَ الشَّفَاعَةَ فِي غَدِ

    Taha, son of Abd Allah, who

    has secured intercession for the morrow.”

  5. صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ اللَّه مَا

    كُحِلَ الظَّلاَم بِأسْوَدِ

    May God bless him as long as

    darkness is lined with black kohl,

  6. وَالآلِ وَالأصْحَابِ مَا

    لَعِبَ النَّسِيم بِأمْلَدِ

    and his family and companions, as long as

    the breeze toys with a supple bough.
