يا نبيا سعت إليه المطايا

في وهاد مألوفة ونشوز

O Prophet, toward whom the riding camels hastened,

Through familiar hollows and uplands,

قلبها من غرامها في حنين

وحشاها من شوقها على أزيز

Their hearts yearned with ardent love,

And their inmost being seethed with longing.

خصك الله باختصار البلاغا

ت فأديتها بلفظ وجيز

God singled you out to condense the messages,

And you conveyed them in concise words.

وتميزت فانتصبت لمولا

ك بعزم نصبا على التمييز

Distinguished, you stood upright before your Lord,

With resolve—a stance of distinction.

عفت دنيا تبرجت لك حسنا

كزليخا تبرجت للعزيز

You spurned a world that flaunted its beauty before you,

As Zulaykha flaunted hers before al-Aziz.

وجبالا أعرضت عنها وكانت

من سبيك اللجين والإبريز

And mountains you turned away from, though they were

Of cast silver and pure gold.

شرفت حلة الرسالة لما

زنتها من حلاك بالتطريز

The robe of messengership gained honor when

You embroidered it with your graces.

لك رعب في قلب كل عدو

كسنا البيض والقنا المهزوز

You strike terror into every enemy's heart,

Like the gleam of swords and brandished spears.

حبك المحض في خزائن ذي العر

ش لأهليه من أعز الكنوزِ

Pure love for you, in the treasuries of the Lord of the Throne,

Is among the most precious treasures for those worthy of it.

لو تملت عيني بقبرك أخرى

قبل موى لقلت يا عين فوزي

If my eye could feast upon your tomb once more,

Before my [death], I would say, 'O eye, triumph!'

فعليك السلام والآل والصح

ب نجوم الهدى وأسد البروز

So peace be upon you, your family, and your Companions—

Stars of guidance and lions of open combat.
