يا من به ختم المولى رسالته

للخلق طرا فنالوا منتهى السعد

O you through whom the Lord sealed His message

to all creation, and they attained the utmost bliss.

ومن دنا فتدلى من حظيرته

كقاب قوسين أو أدنى بلا بعد

And you who drew near, then nearer still, to His precinct,

as close as two bow-lengths, or closer, with no distance between.

ومن رأى به حقا وكلمه

من غير أين ولا كيف ولا حد

And you who, through Him, truly saw and spoke to Him,

without place, manner, or limit.

وخص بالآية الكبرى فكان بها

اسمى البرية من قبل ومن بعد

And you were favored with the greatest sign, through which you became

the most exalted of creation, before and after.

ومن براحته الأمراض قد شفيت

فعاد صاحبها كالصارم الهندي

And you, by whose palm diseases were healed,

so their sufferer was restored, like a keen Indian sword.

ورد عين قتاد بعد ما قلعت

فأبصرت بعد ما سالت على الخد

And you restored Qatad's eye after it had been plucked out,

so it saw again after it had flowed onto the cheek.

امدد يمينك نحوى إن بى مرضا

لم يبق منى غير العظم والجلد

Stretch your right hand toward me, for I have an illness;

nothing remains of me but bone and skin.

ضاق الطبيب به ذرعا ففارقني

عجزا وأسلمني للسهد والوجد

The physician was at his wits' end with it and left me,

helpless, and surrendered me to sleeplessness and anguish.

لكن لي فيك يا خير الورى أملا

أرجو به البرء مما في الحشا عندي

Yet I have hope in you, O best of creation;

through it I hope for healing from what lies deep within me.

بحق فاطمة الزهرا ومن ولدت

سل ربك العفو لي يا صادق الوعد

By the honor of Fatimah al-Zahra and those she bore,

ask your Lord to pardon me, O you whose promise is true.

يا سيد الخلق حبي فيك أطمعني

في العطف واللطف والإحسان والرفد

O master of creation, my love for you has made me hope

for compassion, gentleness, beneficence, and aid.

عليك صلى إله العرش ما عبقت

ريح الصبا بعبير المسك والند

May the God of the Throne bless you for as long as

the east wind is fragrant with the scent of musk and incense.
