Translation

Ṣalli rabbī ʿala n-nabiyyi, shafīʿinā Aḥmad

Mugi Gusti paring rahmat dhumateng Nabi syafaat kita Ahmad

Mugi Gusti paring rahmat dhumateng Nabi junjungan kita Muhammad

The people that in darkness dwelt,

Para jalma ingkang gesang ing salebeting pepeteng

A glorious light have seen

Sampun nyipati cahya mulyo ingkang sumunar

God's prophet now to them hath come,

Utusaning Gusti sakmenika sampun rawuh dhumateng sedaya

Muhammad, Al-Amin

Muhammad, Al-Amin ingkang pinicaya

We hail thee, Allah's Prophet true,

Kita memuji Panjenengan, Utusan Allah ingkang sejati

Of prophecy the seal

Panutuping para nabi lan rasul

We read with reverence the Book,

Kita maos Kitab Suci kanthi kebak kurmat

Thou wast sent to reveal

Ingkang Panjenengan wedharaken minangka pitedah

For thou the burden did'st remove,

Amargi Panjenengan sampun ngicalaken sesanggeman ingkang awrat

Idolatry's fell rod

Pangwasaning brahala ingkang nrisak tatanan

And in thy day the idols fell,

Lan ing jaman Panjenengan brahala-brahala sami ambruk

Before the Sword of God

Ing sangajenging pedhang kwasaning Allah

To bless Arabia and the world,

Kangge mberkahi bumi Arab lan jagad raya

Most surely thou wast raised

Saestu Panjenengan kauto lan kajunjung inggil

We'll sing thy praises evermore,

Kita badhe tansah ngidungaken puji-pujian

Our Mustafa, the praised

Duh Mustafa kita, Sang Pinuji saklawasipun

We watch with gentle, fostering care,

Kita jagi kanthi kebak asih lan pangrimat

The seed that thou hast sown

Wiji-wiji iman ingkang sampun Panjenengan sebar

And trust to hear the world declare,

Lan pitados bilih jagad badhe nyekseni

God's prophet as its own

Utusaning Gusti minangka pitedah gesangipun
