1. اللَهُ رَبّي وَالنَبِيُّ مُحَمَّدٌ

    حَيِّيا الرِسالَةَ بَينَ الأَسبابِ

    Allah is my Lord, and Muhammad is the Prophet.

    Salute the message, you two, amid the ties.

  2. ثُمَّ الوَصِيُّ وَصِيُّ أَحمَدَ بَعدَهُ

    كَهفُ العُلومِ بِحِكمَةٍ وَصَوابِ

    Then the appointed successor, Ahmad’s successor after him,

    A cavern of knowledge, with wisdom and sound judgment.

  3. فاقَ النَظيرَ وَلا نَظيرَ لِقَدرِهِ

    وَعَلا عَنِ الخِلانِ وَالأَصحابِ

    He surpassed his peer, yet his worth has no equal,

    And rose above close friends and companions,

  4. بِمَناقِبٍ وَمَآثِرٍ ما مِثلُها

    في العالَمينَ لِعابِدٍ تَوّابِ

    With virtues and glorious deeds whose like is not found

    In all the worlds in any ever-repentant worshipper.

  5. وَبَنوهُ أَبناءُ النَبِيَّ المُرتَضى

    أَكرِم بِهِم مِن شيخَةٍ وَشَبابِ

    And his sons are the sons of the chosen Prophet.

    How noble they are, elders and youths!

  6. وِلِفاطِمٍ صَلّى عَلَيهِم رَبُّنا

    لِقَديمِ أَحمَدَ ذي النُهى الأَوّابِ

    And they are Fatim’s—may our Lord bless them—

    For Ahmad’s long-standing merit, endowed with reason, ever turning to God.
