رَسُولَ إِلَــهِ الْعَالَمِيـــــنَ تَعَالَـى
خَدِيمُكَ نَادَى يَا رَسُولُ تَعَـــالاَ

Rasūla ilāhi-l ʿālamīna taʿālā
khadīmuka nādā yā rasūlu taʿālā

O Messenger of the God of the worlds, Exalted is He; your servant has called out, O Messenger, come (to my aid)!

خَدِيمُكَ نَادَى يَا رَسُولُ فَلاَ أُرَى
فَقِيرًا إِلَى غَيْــرِ الْإِلَـــهِ تَعَالَــى

Khadīmuka nādā yā rasūlu falā urā
faqīran ila ghayri-l ilāhi taʿālā

Your servant has called out, O Messenger; so that I may not be seen in need of any other than God, the Exalted.

خَدِيمٌ بِأَقْصَى الْغَرْبِ يَدْعُو مُحَمَّــدًا
وَلَيْسَ يَرَى غَيْرَ الرَّسُـــولِ ثِمَـالاَ

Khadīmun bi-aqṣa-l gharbi yadʿū Muḥammadā
wa laysa yarā ghayra-r rasūli thimālā

A servant from the furthest West calls upon Muhammad; he sees none other than the Messenger as a sanctuary.

خَدِيمٌ ثَـوَى بِالْبَابِ وَهْــــوَ مُؤَمِّــلٌ
إِيَابًا كَرِيمًــــا وَهْـوَ جَيْــرِ أَطَــالاَ

Khadīmun thawā bi-l bābi wa huwa mu’ammilun
iyāban karīman wa huwa jayri aṭālā

A servant has dwelt at the door, hoping for a noble return, and indeed he has stayed for a long time.

تَصَاغَرَ عِنْدِي غَيْرُ أَحْمَــدَ إِنَّنِــي
أُرَجِّي مِنَ الْهَــادِي الْعِبَــادِ مَنَـالاَ

Taṣāghara ʿindī ghayru Aḥmada innanī
urajjī mina-l hādi-l ʿibādi manālā

Everyone besides Ahmad has become small in my eyes; for I hope for a gift from the Guide of the servants.

كَرِيمَ السَّجَايَا وَاسِعَ الْجُودِ مَا تَرَى
لِضَيْـــــفِ كَرِيــمٍ قَــدْ أَجَادَ مَقَــالاَ

Karīma-s sajāyā wāsiʿa-l jūdi mā tarā
li-ḍayfi karīmin qad ajāda maqālā

O you of noble character and vast generosity, what do you see for the guest of a generous one who has excelled in his speech?

فَهَبْهُ عَلَى مِقْدَارِ كَفِّــكَ مُصْطَفَى
الْبَرَايَــا عَطَاءً لاَ يَخَــافُ زَوَالاَ

Fa-habhu ʿalā miqdāri kaffika muṣṭafa
al-barāyā ʿaṭā’an lā yakhāfu zawālā

So grant him, according to the measure of your palm—O Chosen of creation—a gift that fears no end.

فَفِي كُلِّ حَيٍّ قَدْ خَبَطْتَ بِنِعْمَــةٍ
وَإِنِّي كَشأْسٍ قَــدْ أَرُومُ نَــوَالاَ

Fa-fī kulli ḥayyin qad khabaṭta bi-niʿmatin
wa innī ka-Sha’sin qad arūmu nawālā

For in every neighborhood you have descended with a blessing; and I, like Sha's (the famous seeker of generosity), seek a bestowal.

عَلَيْكَ صَـــلاَةُ اللّٰهِ ثُــمَّ سَلاَمُــهُ
وَتَشْمَلُ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِـــيِّ وَآلاَ

ʿAlayka ṣalātu-llāhi thumma salāmuhu
wa tashmalu aṣḥāba-n nabiyyi wa ālā

Upon you be the blessings of Allah and then His peace; and may they encompass the Prophet's companions and family.
