**1.** نَعِيمِيَ ذِكْرُ الْمُصْطَفَى النُّورِ مَنْ خُصَّا / بِأَسْرَارِ أَسْمَاءِ الْمُهَيْمِــــنِ مَن خَصَّـــا

_Na‘īmiya dhikru al-Muṣṭafā an-nūri man khuṣṣā / Bi-asrāri asmā’i al-Muhaymini man khaṣṣā_

My paradise is the remembrance of the Chosen One, the Light who was singled out with the secrets of the Names of the Protector, who chose him.

**2.** مُحَمَّدُ عَبْــــــدُ اللّٰهِ نَاصِــــرُ دِينِـــهِ / وَأَنْصَارِهِ مَا لاَ يُعَدُّ وَلاَ يُحْصَـــى

_Muḥammadu ‘abdu Allāhi nāṣiru dīnihi / Wa-anṣārihi mā lā yu‘addu wa-lā yuḥṣā_

Muhammad, the servant of Allah, the helper of His religion and its supporters, in numbers that can neither be counted nor calculated.

**3.** فَمَلْكٌ طَــــــــوَى أَيَّامَـــــهُ مُتَقَلِّــــلاً / وَلِلنَّفْعِ وَالْإِرْشَادِ قَدْ أَدْمَنَ الْحِرْصَا

_Fa-malkun ṭawā ayyāmahu mutaqallilan / Wa-lin-naf‘i wal-irshādi qad admana al-ḥirṣā_

A King who folded his days in asceticism and fewness, yet for the sake of benefit and guidance, he was habitually dedicated.

**4.** فَيَا لَيْتَ شِعْرِي هَلْ أَفُوزُ بِـــزَوْرَةٍ / لِدَارِ حَبِيبِ اللّٰهِ هَلْ أُعْمِلُ النَّصَّـــا

_Fa-yā layta shi‘rī hal afūzu bi-zawratin / Li-dāri ḥabībi Allāhi hal u‘milu an-naṣṣā_

O, I wish I knew: will I be successful in attaining a visit to the home of the Beloved of Allah; shall I set out on a journey with full effort?

**5.** دِيَارٌ لِمَنْ قَدْ بَاتَ عَرْشًـــــا لِعَرْشِـــهِ / وَوَافَى بِخَمْسٍ لَنْ تُرَى سَرْمَدًا نَقْصَا

_Diyārun li-man qad bāta ‘arshan li-‘arshihi / Wa-wāfā bi-khamsin lan turā sarmadan naqṣā_

These are the lands of the one who became the throne for His Throne, and who came with the five prayers which shall never be seen as deficient.

**6.** أُعَفِّرُ خَدِّي بِالرُّبُـــــــوعِ رُبُوعِــــهِ / وَأَسْقِي بِمَاءِ الشَّأْنِ تُرْبَةَ مَنْ خُصَّا

_U‘affiru khaddī bir-rubū‘i rubū‘ihi / Wa-asqī bi-mā’i ash-sha’ni turbata man khuṣṣā_

I would rub my cheek in the dust of his quarters, and water with the "water of the matter" the soil of the one who was specially chosen.

**7.** وَأُخْبِرُهُ مَا قَدْ لَقِيتُ مِنَ الْأَسَـــــى / وَإِنْ كَانَ لَمْ يَحْتَجْ إِلَى ذِكْرِهِ نَصَّا

_Wa-ukbiruhu mā qad laqītu mina al-asā / Wa-in kāna lam yaḥtaj ilā dhikrihi naṣṣā_

I would inform him of the grief I have encountered, even though he has no need for a verbal explanation of it.

**8.** فَبَحْرٌ مُحِيطٌ بِالْعِبَــــــادِ وَأَمْرِهَـــا / فَلَمْ يَكُ فِي تَفْصِيلِهِ يَطْلُبُ الْخَرْصَا

_Fa-baḥrun muḥīṭun bil-‘ibādi wa-amrihā / Fa-lam yaku fī tafṣīlihi yaṭlubu al-kharṣā_

For he is an ocean encompassing the servants and their affairs; he does not require conjecture or estimation to know the details.

**9.** عَلَيْهِ صَـــــــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــــمَّ سَلاَمُــــهُ / مَعَ الْآلِ وَالْأَصْحَابِ مَنْ عَمَّ أَوْ خَصَّا

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Ma‘a al-āli wal-asḥābi man ‘amma aw khaṣṣā_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, along with his family and companions, whether generally or specifically.

**10.** عَلَيْهِ صَــــــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــــهُ / صَلاَةً بِهَا مِنْ بَحْرِهِ نُــدْرِكُ الْمَصَّـــا

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Ṣalātan bihā min baḥrihi nudriku al-maṣṣā_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace—a prayer through which we are granted a sip from his vast ocean.
