لَكَ في قُلوب العالَمين مَواضع

وَلَهُم بِما تُسدي بِذاكَ مَنافِعٌ

وَلَهُم بِما تُسدي بِذاكَ مَنافِعٌ

You hold places in the hearts of all people.

You have a place in the hearts of both worlds,

And what you bestow thereby brings them benefits.

And through your giving, benefits come to them.

The earth’s old dwelling-sites are bright through you among the people.

Among the simple folk, your light shines,

And praise of you is widespread among the angels.

And your praise circulates among the angels.

شَوقي إِلى تِلكَ النِعال مُقبِلاً

هُوَ في عُلا فرق الفَراقد واضِعُ

هُوَ في عُلا فرق الفَراقد واضِعُ

My longing, approaching those sandals—

Yearning for those slippers I come,

In its loftiness, it lays low the Farqad stars’ crown.

While separation has laid its burden.

يا نَجل صَديق النَبيّ مُحَمَدٍ

يا نَجل صَديق النَبيّ مُحَمَدٍ

مِن في القِيامة للبرية شافِعُ

مِن في القِيامة للبرية شافِعُ

O descendant of the Prophet Muhammad’s friend,

O son of the Prophet Muhammad's friend,

Who intercedes for creation at the Resurrection.

You will intercede for creation on Judgment Day.

مِن أُمَهات المَعلومات مَراضِعُ

مِن أُمَهات المَعلومات مَراضِعُ

You are the one for whom, in his cradle, were appointed

You it was who in his cradle made,

Wet nurses from among the mothers of knowledge.

From the mothers of knowledge, wet nurses for him.

فَبَقيت ما دامَ الوُجود مُمتِعاً

بِكَ أَيُّها القَمَر المُنير الساطِعُ

بِكَ أَيُّها القَمَر المُنير الساطِعُ

So may you live on as long as existence remains delightful

So you remained, for as long as existence brings joy,

Through you, O luminous, radiant moon.

O you shining brilliant moon.
