1. بَدا لابساً بُردَ النبّيِ محمّد

    بأحسنَ مِمّا أَقبلَ البَدرُ طالعا

    He appeared wearing the mantle of the Prophet Muhammad,

    fairer than the full moon as it rose.

  2. سَمِيُّ النبيِّ وآبنُ وارثهِ الذي

    بهِ استشفعوا أَكرِم بذلكَ شافعا

    The Prophet's namesake and son of his heir, the one

    through whom they sought intercession—how noble an intercessor!

  3. فَلمّا عَلا الأعوادَ قامَ بخطبةٍ

    تَزيدُ هُدى مَن كانَ للحقِّ تابعا

    Then, when he ascended the wooden pulpit, he stood to deliver a sermon

    that increases the guidance of whoever followed the truth.

  4. وكلُّ عَزيزٍ خَشيةً منهُ خاشعٌ

    وأَنتَ تَراهُ خَشيةَ اللَهِ خاشعا

    And every mighty man is humble in fear of him,

    yet you see him humble in fear of God.
