**1.** تَخِذْتُ رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ فِي كُلِّ أَوْقَاتِــــــي / مَعَاشِي وَكَسْبِي فَهْوَ لِي خَيْرُ أَقْوَاتِ

_Tak-hidhtu Rasūla Allāhi fī kulli awqātī / Ma‘āshī wa-kasbī fahuwa lī khayru aqwātī_

I have taken the Messenger of Allah in all my times as my livelihood and my gain, for he is the best of nourishments for me.

**2.** وَأَمْدَحُهُ مَا عِشْتُ فِــــي كُلِّ حَالَــةٍ / قَصِيدِي مَدِيـحُ الْـهَاشِمِي وَأَبْيَاتِــي

_Wa-amdaḥuhu mā ‘ishtu fī kulli ḥālatin / Qaṣīdī madīḥu al-Hāshimī wa-abyātī_

I praise him as long as I live in every state; my poems and my verses are but the praise of the Hashemite.

**3.** فَلِي كُـــــلَّ وَقْــــتٍ حَالَةٌ بَعْــــدَ حَالَــةٍ / وَحَالَةُ مَدْحِ الْمُصْطَفَى خَيْرُ حَالاَتِي

_Falī kullu waqtin ḥālatun ba‘da ḥālatin / Wa-ḥālatu mad-ḥi al-Muṣṭafā khayru ḥālātī_

For every moment I have state after state, but the state of praising the Chosen One is the best of my states.

**4.** وَلِي زَفْرَةٌ لِلْحُبِّ مِنْ بَعْـــــدِ زَفْـــرَةٍ / فَيَرْحَمُ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ صَدْرِي وَزَفْرَاتِي

_Wa-lī zafratun lil-ḥubbi min ba‘di zafratin / Fa-yar-ḥamu khayru al-nāsi ṣadrī wa-zafrātī_

I have sigh after sigh out of love; may the best of people have mercy on my chest and my sighs.

**5.** وَطَــــالَ بُكَائِــــي فَالزَّفِيــرُ جَهَنَّـــمٌ / يُهَوِّنُهُ مِنِّــــى دُمُوعِــي وَأَصْوَاتِــي

_Wa-ṭāla bukā’ī fal-zafīru jahannamu / Yuhaw-winuhu minnī dumū‘ī wa-aṣwātī_

My weeping has been long, and my sighing is like hellfire, lightened only by my tears and my voices [calls].

**6.** يُدَارِكُنِـــي طَـــهَ الْأَمِيـــــنُ بِعَطْفَــةٍ / فَيَعْذُبُ تَعْذِيبِي وَوَجْدِي وَلَوْعَاتِي

_Yudārikunī Ṭāhā al-Amīnu bi-‘aṭfatin / Fa-ya‘dhubu ta‘dhībī wa-waj-dī wa-law‘ātī_

Taha, the Trustworthy, reaches me with a touch of kindness, and thus my torment, my ecstasy, and my burning grief become sweet.

**7.** أَنِلْنِي مَقَامًا قَـــدْ تَقَاصَـــــرَ دُونَـــهُ / جَمِيعُ فُحُولٍ فِي زَمَانِي وَمَــا يَأْتِي

_Anil-nī maqāman qad taqāṣara dūnahu / Jamī‘u fuḥūlin fī zamānī wa-mā ya’tī_

Grant me a station that all the giants [masters] of my time and what is to come have fallen short of.

**8.** بِلاَ سَبَـــبٍ مِنِّـــي مُعَافًــــى فَإِنَّنِــي / رَجَائِي كَبِيرٌ فِي مَلاَذِي وَمَنْجَاتِي

_Bilā sababin minnī mu‘āfan fa-innanī / Rajā’ī kabīrun fī malādhī wa-manjātī_

Without any merit of my own, but out of well-being; for my hope is great in my Refuge and my Salvation.

**9.** عَلَيْــــــهِ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / عَلَى عَدَدِ الْمَاضِي كَذَا عَدَدِ الْآتِي

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / ‘Ala ‘adadi al-māḍī kadhā ‘adadi al-ātī_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace, to the number of what has passed and the number of what is to come.

**10.** عَلَيْــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُـــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / صَلاَةً بِهَا فَقْرِي يَزُولُ وَفَاقَاتِــي

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Ṣalātan bihā faqrī yazūlu wa-fāqātī_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; a prayer through which my poverty and my needs vanish.

**11.** عَلَيْـــــــهِ صَـــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ / بِهَا دَامَ لِي ذِكْرِي وَرَوْحِي وَرَاحَاتِي

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Bihā dāma lī dhikrī wa-raw-ḥī wa-rāḥātī_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; through which my remembrance, my spirit, and my comforts endure.

**12.** عَلَيْـــــهِ صَــــــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / صَلاَةً بِهَــــا يَعْلُو لِوَائِـــي وَرَايَاتِـــي

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Ṣalātan bihā ya‘lū liwā’ī wa-rāyātī_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; a prayer through which my banner and my flags are raised high.

**13.** عَلَيْـــــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / صَلاَتِي وَتَسْلِيمِي عَلَى الْحِبِّ آيَاتِــي

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Ṣalātī wa-taslīmī ‘ala al-ḥibbi āyātī_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; my prayer and my greeting upon the Beloved are my signs.

**14.** عَلَيْــــــهِ صَــــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــــمَّ سَلاَمُـــهُ / بِهَا يَقْبَـلُ الْمَوْلَـى جَمِيـــعَ قِرَاءَاتِــي

_‘Alayhi ṣalātu Allāhi thumma salāmuhu / Bihā yaq-balu al-Mawlā jamī‘a qirā’ātī_

Upon him be the prayer of Allah and then His peace; through which the Lord accepts all my recitations.

**15.** عَلَيْــــــهِ مَــعَ الْآلِ الْكِـــرَامِ وَصَحْبِـهِ / صَلاَةٌ بِهَا رَفْعِي وَرَفْــعُ مَكَانَاتِــي

_‘Alayhi ma‘a al-āli al-kirāmi wa-ṣaḥbihi / Ṣalātun bihā raf-‘ī wa-raf-‘u makānātī_

Upon him, along with the noble family and his companions; a prayer through which my elevation and the raising of my ranks occur.
