سَلاَمٌ عَلَى خَيْـــــــرِ الْأَنَامِ الَّذِي أَضَـــا
بِهِ الْحَقُّ نَهْجَ الْحَقِّ وَهْوَ الَّذِي ارْتَضَى
Salāmun ‘alā khayri al-anāmi alladhī aḍā
Bihi al-ḥaqqu nahja al-ḥaqqi wa-huwa alladhī artaḍā
Peace be upon the best of mankind, through whom the Truth illuminated the path of Truth, and he is the one whom He was pleased with.
سَلاَمٌ عَلَى نَجْلِ الْعَوَاتِـــــكِ خَيْرِ مَـــنْ
دَعَى الْخَلْقَ لِلْمَوْلَى وَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ الْقَضَا
Salāmun ‘alā najli al-‘awātiki khayri man
Da‘ā al-khalqa lil-mawlā wa-qad aḥsana al-qaḍā
Peace be upon the descendant of the noble "Awatik" grandmothers; the best of those who called creation to the Master and fulfilled the Decree perfectly.
سَـــلاَمٌ عَلَيْـــــهِ وَالسَّـــلاَمُ يَقُودُنِـــــي
إِلَى حَضْرَةِ الْمَاحِي الضَّلاَلَ الَّذِي أَضَا
Salāmun ‘alayhi wal-salāmu yaqūdunī
Ila ḥaḍrati al-Māḥī al-ḍalāla alladhī aḍā
Peace be upon him; and may this peace lead me into the presence of the Eraser of misguidance, who shone brightly.
سَلاَمٌ عَلَيْهِ مِـــــــــنْ خَدِيـــــمٍ مُتَيَّـــمٍ
غَفُولٍ قَضَى مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ كُــلَّ مَا قَضَــى
Salāmun ‘alayhi min khadīmin mutayyamin
Ghafūlin qaḍā min dhanbihi kulla mā qaḍā
Peace be upon him from an enslaved servant and lover, a heedless one who has committed whatever sins he has committed.
سَـلاَمٌ عَلَيْـــــــهِ وَالسَّـــــــلاَمُ مَــــــوَدَّةٌ
وَمَا لِي سِوَى ذَا فِي تَدَارُكِ مَــا مَضَـى
Salāmun ‘alayhi wal-salāmu mawaddatun
Wa-mā lī siwā dhā fī tadāruki mā maḍā
Peace be upon him; and this peace is an expression of affection, for I have nothing else to rely on to make up for what has passed.
سَـــلاَمٌ عَلَيْــــــهِ وَالسَّـــــلاَمُ مُبَلَّــــغٌ
عَلَيْهِ فَمَنْ لِي إِنَّنِـــي عِنْـــدَهُ رِضَـــى
Salāmun ‘alayhi wal-salāmu muballaghun
‘Alayhi fa-man lī innanī ‘indahu riḍā
Peace be upon him; and let this peace be conveyed to him—for who else do I have? Indeed, I seek only his pleasure.
