روحي وأرواح من في الكائنات فدا

لظل باب الذي عم الوجود ندا

My soul and the souls of all in creation are a ransom

for the shade of the door of him whose bounty embraces existence:

محمد المصطفى كنز الرسالة من

لولاه كانت شؤون الحادثات سدى

Muhammad, the Chosen One, treasure of the prophetic message, the one

without whom the affairs of created things would have been in vain.

حقيقة الأمر عين القصد جلجلة ال

معنى الذي كل آن للمنى قصدا

The truth of the matter, the very aim, the resonance of

meaning—he who is sought each moment for the fulfillment of hopes.

أبو الوجود وبحر الجود والمدد ال

ممدود فوق البرايا والمجيب ندا

Father of existence, ocean of generosity, and the succor

extended over all creatures, and he who answers a call.

وخير داع إلى الرحمن محتسبا

وخير هاد لمولاه الكريم هدى

And the best caller to the All-Merciful, seeking His reward,

and the best guide, who guided others to his generous Lord.

حاشاي أن تختشي من بعد نسبته

وحبه هم أوقات ومكر عدا

Far be it from me to fear, after my affiliation with him

and love for him, the cares of time and the schemes of foes.

فقد نزلت بذلي في حماه وقد

أخذته في الورى ركناً ومعتمدا

For I have alighted in my lowliness within his sanctuary, and have

taken him among creation as a pillar and support.

ولن يخيب فتى بالصدق لاذ به

ورامه دائماً عزا ومستندا

Never will a youth be disappointed who sincerely sought refuge in him

and always sought him as a source of honor and support.

يا ملجأ العالم العلوي وواسطة

عليا إني العالم السفلى طول مدا

O refuge of the upper world and an intermediary

most exalted, [to] the lower world throughout all time.

يا أعطف الأنبيا قلبا وأكرمهم

كفا لمن جاءه مثلي ومد يدا

O tenderest-hearted of prophets, and most generous among them

of hand to whoever comes to him like me and stretches out a hand.

لاحظ بعين الرضى كسرى وقل كرما

لا تخش ضيماً ويحمي الوالد الولدا

Look with an eye of favor upon my brokenness, and say generously:

“Fear no injustice”; a father protects his child.

فإنني بك لي ظن ولي أمل

عال وفيك تصير الأشقيا سعدا

For I have confidence in you, and I have a hope

most lofty; through you the wretched become blessed.

حاشاك أن تقطعن حبلي ولي نسب

ينمي إليك وأنت المرتجى أبدا

Far be it from you to sever my rope, when I have a lineage

tracing back to you, and you are forever the one in whom hope is placed.

صلى عليك إله العرش ما قرئت

آيات مدحك في قصد وقد وجدا

May the God of the Throne bless you as long as there are recited

verses of your praise, in seeking—and indeed in finding.
