ماذا يَفوزُ الصالِحونَ بِهِ

ماذا يَفوزُ الصالِحونَ بِهِ

سُقِيَت قُبورُ الصالِحينَ دِيَم

سُقِيَت قُبورُ الصالِحينَ دِيَم

What is it that the righteous attain?

What do the righteous gain

May the graves of the righteous be watered by steady rains.

The graves of the righteous are eternally watered

صَلّى الإِلَهُ عَلى النَبِيِّ لَقَد

صَلّى الإِلَهُ عَلى النَبِيِّ لَقَد

مُحِيَت عُهودٌ بَعدَهُ وَذِمَم

مُحِيَت عُهودٌ بَعدَهُ وَذِمَم

May God bless the Prophet; indeed,

God bless the Prophet, covenants after him

Pledges and covenants were erased after him.

Have been erased and annulled

لَولا بَقايا الصالِحينَ عَفا

لَولا بَقايا الصالِحينَ عَفا

ما كانَ أَثبَتَهُ لَنا وَرَسَم

ما كانَ أَثبَتَهُ لَنا وَرَسَم

Were it not for the righteous who remain, it would have been effaced—

If not for the remnants of the righteous that remain

What he had established for us and marked out.

Nothing of his would have lasted and taken form

سُبحانَ مَن سَبَقَت مَشيئَتُهُ

سُبحانَ مَن سَبَقَت مَشيئَتُهُ

وَقَضى بِذاكَ لِنَفسِهِ وَحَكَم

وَقَضى بِذاكَ لِنَفسِهِ وَحَكَم

Glory be to Him whose will came first,

Glory to Him whose will preceded

And who decreed that for Himself and ruled.

And so decreed for Himself and judged
