1. ماذا أقول مادحاً في مُرسَلٍ

    قَد أفحمت أوصَافُه مُدَّاحَهُ

    What can I say in praise of a messenger

    whose qualities have left his praisers speechless?

  2. مَنْ كَان جبريلٌ إذا ما جاءَهُ

    يخفضُ تَعْظيماً لَهُ جَناحَهُ

    One for whom Gabriel, whenever he came to him,

    would lower his wing in reverence.

  3. من جاءَ والشِّركُ ظلامٌ دامِسٌ

    فحينَ وافى بالهدَى أزاحَهُ

    One who came while polytheism was pitch-black darkness;

    then, when he arrived with guidance, he dispelled it.

  4. فما حكَى برقُ السّماء عَزْمَهُ

    ولا حكتْ أنواءُها سَماحَهُ

    So the sky’s lightning could not match his resolve,

    nor could its rainstorms match his generosity.
