The love of the Prophet has for him a special distinction

And his enemy is restricted and diminished

So behold them as wisdoms of special character

The law of the Prophet Muhammad is specified

textual proofs have come down to us from him therein

How magnificent is the blessing of his religion as a blessing

And with a supreme mercy that appeared from mercy

Verily, guidance, all guidance, arises from wisdom

A law whose authority is reinforced by Imams

each of whom is an investigator of the manifest Truth

Is there after the sovereignty of his glory any sovereignty

Transcending pearls and pure gold in its splendor

He who praises him has triumphed through sincere affection

A person who came with a tongue fluent in the praise of Muhammad

forever through Ahmad a special rank is granted

Those who praise him have been singled out with honor

By his bounty, and they realized through true recognition

For he is the intercessor for us without pause

Disheveled ones heading toward his presence at the Station

where keen gazes are fixed in staring

A manifest light whose perception leaves one bewildered

And the brilliance of intellect has shone from his celestial orbits

The very soil became great when he walked upon its paths

Honored was the Arak tree as its tooth-stick became

that which cleanses his noble mouth at the time of prayer

This poem, with what it contains, has narrated guidance

And cleared for its listener, through what it dictated, the rust

Polisher of pearl strings, and you see it not knotted

I see my poetry, when I praise Muhammad

easy in meaning, containing no obscurity

This speech is of perfection for its spreading

As praise for one by whose mention the praise is purified

Verily I, through the composing of speech about him in verse and prose

Have adorned the ears of narrators with its pearls

as I was diving into the sea of literary eloquence

To God belongs the excellence of beloved ones whom I befriended

Yet I, by my lagging behind, have differed from them

I have begun to sing while I turned away from them

The mounts of my companions have departed leaving me behind

alone, my wing being clipped from them

Who will grant me a visit to the one by whose fortune I travel

Taha, whose attributes of glory are sublime

There is no abundance except that which overflows from him

Be my witnesses if I should journey toward his purpose

in a caravan, and a sturdy camel conveys me to him

For I have reached of time its springtime

And I have settled in the lofty horizon of acceptance

And when I witness his vast expanse and his spring

I would scatter all that my hands possess

in gratitude, until not even a shirt remains upon me

Who will enable me to strive without delay

Toward the presence of the Best of Creation, the one of high standing

Blessed is Tayba, for it is the finest of abodes

My honor in visiting Ahmad, if it be granted to me

over all the kingdoms of the earth, is a bargain
