1. أأحمدُ في مغناكَ قد ظَلت أحمَدُ

    ومثلُكَ من يُسدي الندى حين يُحمدُ

    O Ahmad, in your abode I have kept praising you;

    and one like you bestows bounty when praised,

  2. ولا سيما والقوالُ منكَ مُصَرَّحُ

    بذلك في بَيت من الشعر يُنشَدُ

    especially since your saying is explicitly stated

    about this, in a verse of poetry that is recited:

  3. إذا كنتَ في ضيقٍ وغَمٍّ وكُربةٍ

    فنادِ أيا زَروقُ يأتيكَ أحمَدُ

    If you are in distress, sorrow, and anguish,

    then call, 'O Zarruq!'—Ahmad will come to you.

  4. فها نحنُ وفدَ اللَهِ زُوّارَ بيتهِ

    وطيبةَ إذ يدعو إليها مُحَمَّدُ

    So here we are, God's delegation, visitors to His House,

    and to Taybah, to which Muhammad calls.

  5. عليه صلاة اللَه ثمَّ سلامُهُ

    ورِضوانهُ ما لاحَ في الأفقِ فَرقَدُ

    Upon him be God's blessing, then His peace,

    and His good pleasure, as long as Farqad shines on the horizon.

  6. فعَجّل قرانا بالسؤال لرَبّنا

    ليَبلُغَ من كلِّ لدى الرب مقصد

    So hasten our guest-fare by petitioning our Lord,

    so that each one's wish may reach the Lord,

  7. ونَظفَرُ في ذاك المقام بحَجّةٍ لها

    حُجّةٌ في البرِّ ليست تُفَنّدُ

    and we may attain, at that station, a pilgrimage with

    a proof of righteousness that cannot be refuted.

  8. وفي رَوضَةِ المختارِ نُصبِحُ كلما

    خرجنا عشقنا العودَ والعَودُ أحمَدُ

    And in the Chosen One's garden we spend the morning; whenever

    we leave, we yearn to return—and returning is more praiseworthy.
