متى تبلغُ النفسُ المشوقُ سؤالَها

بإنشاد مدحي في أجلِّ مَقَامِ

When will my soul attain what it yearns for

With a song of praise at the most glorious station

مَقامِ رسول اللَه حيَّاهُ ربُّه

بكل تَحيَّاتٍ وكلّ سَلامِ

The station of Allah's Messenger, may his Lord give him life

With every greeting and peace

مرامى أنِّي لو بلغتُ لقبرِهِ

فمن لي لو أنِّي بلغتُ مَرامي

My goal is that if I reached his grave

Then who could I be if I attained my goal

محمدٌ المُختارُ من آل هاشمٍ

فقل في كريمِ الأَصلِ نجلِ كِرَامِ

Muhammad, the Chosen One from the family of Hashim

So speak of the generous, noble ancestry

مناقبةُ تُربى على الرَّملِ والحَصَى

وراحتُه أزرَت بكلِّ غَمامِ

His virtues were raised on sand and pebbles

And his comfort saddled every cloud

محيَّاهُ مثلُ البَدر ليلةَ تمِّهِ

فقد زانَ فيه الأفقَ بدر تمامِ

Greet him, like the full moon on the night it is full

For the horizon was adorned by the fullness of the moon through him

محلُّ رسولِ اللَه عندَ إلاههِ

عظيمٌ فمن ذا في الفخار كسَامي

The place of Allah's Messenger with his God

Is great, so who can attain such sublimity

مكارمُه تُنسي المكارم كُلها

فأكرم بغيثٍ في المواهب هَامِ

His noble character makes all nobility forgettable

So he is the most generous raincloud

مدائحه أرجو بها الأَمن في غد

فما أختَشي والنارُ ذاتُ ضرامِ

I hope to attain security tomorrow through my praises of him

For I have no fear while the hellfire blazes

من اللَه أرجو أن أفوزَ بمدحة

تجاه ضريحٍ منه وهُوَ أمامي

From Allah I hope that I may attain an ode

In the presence of his tomb, while he is before me
