    My greetings, for greetings are a trust

    من إمام قد عظَّم الله شانه

    From an Imam whom Allah has made great

    وبها أفصح الإله لسانه

    His heart discloses the sciences of revelation

    And through it Allah has made eloquent his tongue

    عن فؤادي وبينوا هيمانه

    وارتياحي تنشق الريحانه
