**1.** غَرَامِي وَشَوْقِـــي لِلنَّبِــــيِّ يُنَشِّـــطُ / قِلاَمِي وَتَجْرِي فِي الْمَدِيحِ وَتُفْرِطُ

_Gharāmī wa shawqī li-l-Nabiyy yu-nashṭu / Qilāmī wa tajrī fi-l-madḥi wa tafruṭu_

My passion and my longing for the Prophet energize my pens, causing them to race and overflow in praise.

**2.** وَمَاذَا عَلَـــيَّ إِنْ جُنِنْــــتُ بِحُبِّــــهِ / وَقَدْ صَارَ مِنْ تَحْتِي وَلِيدٌ وَأَشْمَطُ

_Wa mādhā ‘alayya in junintu bi-ḥubbihi / Wa qad ṣāra min taḥtī walīdun wa ashmaṭu_

What does it matter to me if I am called "mad" for his love, when both the young child and the gray-haired elder have come under my guidance?

**3.** فَلَيْسَ عَلَيَّ اللَّوْمُ فِي مَدْحِ سَيِّــــدِي / فَمَا شِئْتُهُ مَدْحًا فَلَــــــمْ أَكُ أُفْـــرِطُ

_Fa-laysa ‘alayya al-lawmu fi madḥi sayyidī / Fa-mā shi’tuhu madḥan fa-lam akū ufritu_

There is no blame upon me for praising my Master, for no matter how much I praise, I could never be excessive.

**4.** فَبَحْرٌ مِنَ الْأَسْرَارِ وَالْعِلْمِ زَاخِـــرٌ / جَوَاهِرُهُ تُزْرِي الْعُقُــــودَ فَتُغْبَـــطُ

_Fa-baḥrun min al-asrār wa al-‘ilmi zākhirun / Jawāhiruhu tuzrī al-‘uqūda fa-tughbaṭu_

He is a surging sea of secrets and knowledge whose jewels put all necklaces to shame, making them objects of envy.

**5.** وَبَدْرٌ مِنَ الْأَنْوَارِ وَالْـهَــدْيِ طَالِــعٌ / وَأَخْجَلَ شَمْسًا فِي الضِّيَاءِ فَنَغْبِطُ

_Wa badrun min al-anwār wa al-hady ṭāli‘un / Wa akhjala shamsan fi al-ḍiyā’i fa-naghbaṭu_

He is a full moon of lights and guidance rising, shaming the sun in its brightness, leaving us in admiration.

**6.** وَلَيْثُ الْوَغَى جَمُّ النَّدَى صَارِمُ الْعِدَى / وَيَقْسِمُ أَمْـــــــوَالَ الْإِلَــــهِ وَيُقْسِـــطُ

_Wa Laithu al-waghā jammu al-nadā ṣārumu al-‘adā / Wa yaqsimu amwāl al-Ilāhi wa yuqsiṭu_

He is the lion of war, the abundance of generosity, the sharp edge against enemies, who distributes God’s wealth with perfect justice.

**7.** فَهُو لِلْعِدَى فِي طَيِّهَا كُـلُّ نِقْمَـــةٍ / جَلِيلٌ جَمِيلٌ مُصْلِحٌ وَهْوَ مُحْبِطُ

_Fa-huwa li-l-‘adā fi ṭayyiha kullu niqmah / Jalīlun jamīlun muṣliḥun wa huwa muḥbiṭu_

For the enemies, he is a hidden torment within his folds; he is majestic, beautiful, a rectifier, yet one who brings down the proud.

**8.** أَفَادَ جُمُوعَ الْبِيضِ وَهْـوَ أَبَادَهُـــــمْ / وَأَرْشَدَ مَنْ قَدْ كَانَ فِي الْغَيِّ يَخْبِطُ

_Afāda jumū‘a al-bīḍ wa huwa abādahum / Wa arshada man qad kāna fi al-ghayyi yakhbiṭu_

He benefited the masses of the white races even as he subdued their [tyranny], and he guided those who were stumbling blindly in error.

**9.** وَلاَنَ لِأَهْلِ الدِّينِ عَنَّفَ غَيْرَهُمْ / خَبِيرٌ بَصِيرٌ وَاهِبٌ وَهْوَ مُقْسِـطُ

_Wa lāna li-ahli al-dīni ‘annafa ghayrahum / Khabīrun baṣīrun wāhibun wa huwa muqsiṭu_

He was gentle with the people of faith and firm with others; he is an expert, a seer, a giver, and a just arbiter.

**10.** مُحَمَّدُ مَحْوُ الْكُفْرِ مَــــــدُّ ضِيَائِهِ / فَقَدْ جَمَعَ الْأَضْدَادَ يَعْلُو وَيَهْبِـطُ

_Muḥammadun maḥw al-kufri maddu ḍiyā’ihi / Faqad jama‘a al-aḍdād ya‘lū wa yahbiṭu_

Muhammad is the erasure of disbelief and the extension of light; he has gathered all opposites, ascending and descending.

**11.** عَلَيْهِ صَلاَةُ اللّٰهِ مَا قَالَ مُغْــــرَمٌ / غَرَامِي وَشَوْقِي لِلنَّبِيِّ يُنَشِّـــطُ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi mā qāla mughramun / Gharāmī wa shawqī li-l-Nabiyy yu-nashṭu_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah as long as an infatuated lover says: My passion and my longing for the Prophet energize my pens.
