Through praise of Muhammad, the best of creation, were perfected
the radiant brow-marks and white fetlocks of every poem.

واختص دون الأنبياء بدعوةٍ
وسع العبادَ عمومُها وشمولُهَا
Unlike all other prophets, he was singled out for a summons
And he alone among the prophets was singled out for a call
whose universality and all-embracing reach encompassed all people.
Whose universality and scope embraced all God's servants.
فاضت على الثقلين منه أشعَّةٌ
طلعت وما عقب الطلوع أفولها
From him, rays streamed over humankind and jinn;
Rays streamed from him upon humankind and jinn;
they rose, and no setting followed their rise.
They rose, and no setting followed their rising.
فالإنس تعلم أنه مقصودها
والجنُّ توقن أنه مأمولها
Humanity knows that he is the one it seeks,
Thus humankind knows he is the one it seeks,
and the jinn are certain that he is the one for whom they hope.
And the jinn are certain he is the one they hope for.
كم آيةٍ بالصدقِ كان ظهورها
كم آيةٍ بالسَّبق كان نزولها

How many a sign appeared in truth!
How many a sign was sent down beforehand!
How many a verse was revealed beforehand!

لمحمد لزم العباد قبولها

And this revelation suffices you, for it is testimony

For Muhammad, which God's servants are bound to accept.

God gathered honors for a community
this Hashemite Prophet is its messenger.
Whose messenger is this Hashimite Prophet.
Sol 6.1
