1. جاء الكتاب من الحبيب مُبَشِّراً

    بقدومه يا مَرْحَباً يا مَرْحَبَا

    The letter came from the beloved, bearing glad tidings

    of his arrival—oh, welcome, oh, welcome!

  2. قَدْ رَدَّ لي عَهْدَ المسرّةِ مِثْلَمَا

    بقميص يُوسُفَ رُدَّ ما قَدْ أُذْهِبَا

    It has restored to me the days of joy, just as

    through Joseph’s shirt, what had been taken away was restored.

  3. أُهْدِي إليك تحيَّةً مِسْكِيَّةً

    يا مصطفى يا منتقى يا مجتبى

    I offer you a musk-scented greeting,

    O Mustafa, O chosen one, O elect one,

  4. مُسْتَدْعِيا منك الدّعاءَ وأنتَ في

    حالٍ تراها للإجابة أَقْرَبا

    seeking your prayer while you are in

    a state you deem more conducive to its being answered.
