I cannot number the praises of your eminence.

I cannot enumerate your virtues in praise,

O gentle in character, O possessor of glory.

O gentle of manner, O glorious one.

My love for those traits has become passion.

My love for your noble traits has become passion,

And I have my excuse: wherever you are, you are peerless.

And I have an excuse wherever you are alone.

كُلُّ ما فيكَ مُصطَفى واجِبُ المَد

Everything in you, Mustafa, deserves praise—

All that is in you is praiseworthy, O Chosen One,

So what can I say, when the circumstances bear witness?

So what can I say when the matter itself testifies?

Noble deeds, discernment, and intelligence,

Honor and wisdom and intelligence,

And lofty traits that have surpassed all bounds.

And sublime qualities that surpass all bounds.

فَتَقَبَّل جَزاءَ فَضلِكَ شُكراً

فَتَقَبَّل جَزاءَ فَضلِكَ شُكراً

كُلَّ يَومٍ وَساعَةٍ يَتَجَدَّدِ

كُلَّ يَومٍ وَساعَةٍ يَتَجَدَّدِ

So accept, in return for your goodness, gratitude

So accept in return for your bounty, gratitude

Renewed each day and every hour.

That renews itself each day and hour.
