And it leans towards the palm trees.

فيهِم على الخيراتِ حرصُ

The best young men visited,

Eager for good deeds.

زاروا النبيّ محمّداً

وَلصحبهِ عمّوا وخصّوا

And paid respect to him and his companions―

خير البريّة كاملَ ال

أوصافِ لا يعروه نقصُ

In traits, no deficiency in him.

كَم جاءَنا من ربّه

في فضلهِ بالذكرِ نصُّ

How much has come to us from his Lord

In his virtue that we recite.

شربَ العلومَ جَميعها

ولكلِّ خلقِ اللَّه مصُّ

He drank all knowledge entirely,

And for all of God's creations he was a conduit.

علمَ الغيوبَ بأسرها

ما ثمّ تخمينٌ وخرصُ

He knew the unseen fully,

No guessing or fumbling.

بِدعائهِ زالَ الغلا

ءُ وعمّ في الآفاق رخصُ

And ease spread through the horizons.

ليثُ الحروبِ ومِخلبا

هُ هَناك بتّارٌ وخرصُ

The lion of battles―his claws

There tore armies and foes.

أَضحى بِصارمِ دينهِ

لِجناحِ دين الشرك قصُّ

With the sword of his religion

The wings of the pagan faith he severed.
