**1.** لَقَدْ فَاحَ لِي مِنْ نَشْرِ أَحْمَـدَ فَائِـحُ / فَيَحْرِمُنِي نَوْمِي الدُّمُوعُ السَّوَافِحُ

_Laqad fāḥa lī min nashri Aḥmada fā’iḥu / Fa-yaḥrimunī nawmī ad-dumū‘u as-sawāfiḥu_

A fragrant scent from the essence of Ahmad has wafted toward me, And so, my pouring tears deprive me of my sleep.

**2.** تَقَطَّعَ أَكْبَادِي بِعِشْقٍ وَمَطْمَــــعٍ / تَنَازَعَهُ يَأْسٌ فَضَاقَ الْجَوَانِـــــحُ

_Taqaṭṭa‘a akbādī bi-‘ishqin wa-maṭma‘in / Tanāza‘ahu ya’sun fa-ḍāqa al-jawāniḥu_

My heart (liver) is torn by a love and a longing— Contested by despair, until my chest grew tight with emotion.

**3.** حَمِدْتُ إِلَـهِـــي إِذْ بُلِيتُ بِحُبِّهِ / فَمِنْهُ بَدَا لِلْعَالَمِينَ الْمَصَالِــــحُ

_Ḥamidtu ilāhī idh bulītu bi-ḥubbihi / Fa-minhu badā lil-‘ālamīna al-maṣāliḥu_

I praised my God for being tested with his love, For through him, all benefits appeared to the worlds.

**4.** وَنِلْتُ بِهِ مَا فَاتَ حَدًّا تَفَضُّـــــلاً / حَيَاتِـيَ طُوبَى وَهْوَ مَوْتِـيَ صَالِحُ

_Wa-niltu bihi mā fāta ḥaddan tafaḍḍulan / Ḥayātiya ṭūbā wa-huwa mawt-iya ṣāliḥu_

Through him, I attained what is beyond limit, by [Divine] grace; My life is blessedness (Tuba), and my death in him is righteous.

**5.** لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كُلُّ الْحَمْدِ شُكْرًا وَصَلِّيَنْ / عَلَى مَنْ لِعَلْيَاهُ تَطِيـــــبُ الْمَدَائِـــحُ

_Laka al-ḥamdu kullu al-ḥamdi shukran wa-ṣalliyan / ‘Alā man li-‘alyāhu taṭību al-madā’iḥu_

To You belongs all praise in gratitude; and send Your blessings Upon the one for whose loftiness all praises become sweet.

**6.** لَكَ الْحَمْدُ يَا مَوْلاَيَ حَقًّا وَصَلِّيَنْ / عَلَيْهِ مَدَى الْأَيَّامِ مَا نَــــاحَ نَائِــحُ

_Laka al-ḥamdu yā mawlāya ḥaqqan wa-ṣalliyan / ‘Alayhi madā al-ayyāmi mā nāḥa nā’iḥu_

To You belongs all praise, O my Lord, in truth; and send Your blessings Upon him as long as days endure and the dove laments.

**7.** مُحَمَّدُ عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ أَحْمَــــدُ حَامِــــدٌ / تَبَدَّتْ لَنَا مِنْهُ الْمُنَى وَالْمَنَائِــــحُ

_Muḥammadu ‘abdullāhi Aḥmadu Ḥāmidun / Tabaddat lanā minhu al-munā wal-manā’iḥu_

Muhammad, the servant of Allah, Ahmad, the seeker of praise; Through him, our hopes and divine gifts were manifested to us.

**8.** نَفَى عَنْ دُيُورِي كُلَّ بُؤْسٍ وَغُمَّةٍ / وَطَيْرٍ وَشُؤْمٍ قَدْ تُرِيهَا الْبَــوَارِحُ

_Nafā ‘an duyūrī kulla bu’sin wa-ghummatin / Wa-ṭayrin wa-shu’min qad turīhā al-bawāriḥu_

He banished from my lands all misery and grief, And every ill omen or bad luck brought by the desert winds.

**9.** وَأَلْـهَـمَنَا ذِكْرَ الْإِلَـــهِ وَمَدْحَ مَنْ / تُكِلُّ لَدَى أَدْنَى ثَنَــــاهُ الْقَرَائِـــحُ

_Wa-alhamanā dhikra al-ilāhi wa-madḥa man / Tukillu ladā adnā thanāhu al-qarā’iḥu_

He inspired us to remember God and to praise the one Whose lowest station of praise exhausts the greatest of minds.

**10.** تَبَدَّتْ لَهُ ذَاتُ الْمُهَيْمِنِ سَاذِجًـــا / وَذَلِكَ مَرْمًى كَلَّ عَنْهُ الْقَوَارِحُ

_Tabaddat lahu dhātu al-muhaymini sādhijan / Wa-dhālika marman kalla ‘anhu al-qawāriḥu_

The Essence of the Protector (God) appeared to him in its pure simplicity— A goal that even the strongest of spirits fail to reach.

**11.** فَذَلِكَ عَبْدُ الْعَيْنِ سَيِّدُ نُقْطَــــــةٍ / بِهَا حَصَلَتْ لِلْعَالَمِينَ الْمَرَابِـحُ

_Fa-dhālika ‘abdu al-‘ayni sayyidu nuqṭatin / Bihā ḥaṣalat lil-‘ālamīna al-marābiḥu_

He is the "Servant of the Source" and the master of the "Point," Through which all profits were gained for the entire universe.

**12.** عَلَيْهِ صَلاَةُ رَبِّـهِ حَـقَّ قَــــدْرِهِ / وَمَا فَاحَ عِنْدَ الْإِخْتِتَامِ الْفَوَائِـحُ

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu rabbihi ḥaqqa qadrihi / Wa-mā fāḥa ‘inda al-ikhtitāmi al-fawā’iḥu_

Upon him be the blessings of his Lord, as is his true worth, And as long as fragrances continue to waft at every conclusion.
