**1.** مَحَوْتُ بِمَاحٍ مُصْطَفًــى أَحْمَــدٍ أَسْــوَا / عَنِ الْعَبْدِ وَالْأَحْبَابِ طُرًّا وَلاَ غَرْوَى

_Maḥawtu bi-māḥin Muṣṭafā Aḥmadin aswā / ʿani al-ʿabdi wa-l-aḥbābi ṭurran walā gharwā_

I have erased all evils from this servant and all his loved ones through the Eraser (Al-Mahi), the Chosen Ahmad—and this is no surprise.

**2.** إِلَى غَيْرِنَا تَنْحُو الْمَصَائِبُ إِنْ عَدَا / عَلَيْنَا وَيَنْحُو نَحْوَهُ الضُّرُّ وَالْبَلْوَى

_Ilā ghayrinā tanḥu al-maṣā’ibu in ʿadā / ʿalaynā wa-yanḥu naḥwahu al-ḍurru wa-l-balwā_

Misfortunes turn away toward others if they ever attempt to strike us, and harm and trials are diverted from our path.

**3.** وَيَشْغَلُنَـــــا حُــــبُّ الْأَمِيـــــنِ وَذِكْــرُهُ / عَنِ الْقَتْلِ وَالْأَشْرَارِ فِي الْجَهْرِ وَالنَّجْوَى

_Wa-yashghalunā ḥubbu al-Amīni wa-dhikruhu / ʿani al-qatli wa-l-ashrāri fī al-jahri wa-l-najwā_

The love of the Trustworthy One and his remembrance distracts us from killings and the wicked, in both public and private discourse.

**4.** حَبِيـــــبِ إِلَــهِ الْعَـــرْشِ مَجْمَــعِ شَأْنِــهِ / فَتَذْكَـــارُهُ عِنْـــــدِي أَلَذُّ مِـــنَ الْحَلْـــوَى

_Ḥabībi ilāhi al-ʿarshi majmaʿi sha’nihi / fa-tadhkāruhu ʿindī aladhdhu min al-ḥalwā_

The beloved of the Lord of the Throne, the focal point of all honor; his remembrance to me is sweeter than any confection.

**5.** وَلِمْ لاَ وَأَنْـــــتَ الْعَبْــــدُ لِلَّهِ سَيِّـــدًا / لِسَادَاتِ هَــذَا الْخَلْقِ حَقًّا وَلاَ دَعْوَى

_Wa-lim lā wa-anta al-ʿabdu lillāhi sayyidan / li-sādāti hadhā al-khalqi ḥaqqan walā daʿwā_

And why not? For you are the servant of Allah and a master to the masters of this creation in truth, not just by claim.

**6.** حَبَــــاهُ إِلَـــهٌ وَاحِـــــدٌ مُتَفَضِّـــــلٌ / كَرِيمٌ فَلَمْ يُدْرِكْ لَـــهُ مُدْرِكٌ شَـأْوَا

_Ḥabāhu ilāhun wāḥidun mutafaḍḍilun / karīmun falam yudrik lahu mudrikun sha’wā_

A Single, Gracious, and Generous God bestowed upon him such rank that no pursuer could ever reach his heights.

**7.** فَمِنْــهُ نَـــوَالُ الْكُـــلِّ وَالْكُــلُّ دَائِمًــا / وَقَدْ تَرَكُــوا مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَا بَحْرَهُ رَهْوَا

_Fa-minhu nawālu al-kulli wa-l-kullu dā’iman / wa-qad tarakū min baʿdi dhā baḥrahu rahwā_

From him comes the bestowal for all, and all are forever in need of him, having left his "sea" as a vast, tranquil expanse.

**8.** عَلَيْـهِ صَــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ مَـا حَــنَّ عَاشِـــقٌ / إِلَى طَيْبَةِ الْمُخْتَارِ مَنْ لاَ لَهُ شَرْوَى

_ʿAlayhi ṣalātu Allāhi mā ḥanna ʿāshiqun / ilā Ṭaybati al-Mukhtāri man lā lahu sharwā_

Upon him be the blessings of Allah as long as a lover yearns for the Tayba (Medina) of the Chosen One—he who has no equal.

**9.** عَلَيْـــــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / مَعَ الْآلِ مَنْ نَالُوا بِهِ الْغَايَةَ الْقُصْوَى

_ʿAlayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / maʿa al-āli man nālū bihi al-ghāyata al-quṣwā_

Upon him be the blessings of Allah and then His peace, along with the Family who reached the furthest goal through him.

**10.** مَدَى الْقَدْرِ وَالْمِقْدَارِ مِنْ خَيْرِ مُرْسَلٍ / مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَاحِي الَّـذِي رَكِبَ الْقَصْـوَى

_Madā al-qadri wa-l-miqdāri min khayri mursalin / Muḥammadin al-māḥī alladhī rakiba al-Qaṣwā_

According to his true measure and stature, from the best of messengers, Muhammad the Eraser, who rode Al-Qaswa (his noble she-camel).

**11.** وَهَبْ لِيَ بِالْمُخْتَارِ مَا اخْتَرْتُ دَائِمًا / لِدِينِي وَدُنْيَائِي عَلَى وَفْقِ مَا أَهْــوَى

_Wa-hab lī bi-l-Mukhtāri mā khtartu dā’iman / li-dīnī wa-dunyā’ī ʿalā wafqi mā ahwā_

And grant me through the Chosen One all that I have chosen forever, for my religion and my worldly life, in accordance with my heart’s desire.
