O leader of all Prophets, o you my Support,
You are the door to Allah, the one on whom I rely.

قَــسَــمًــا بِــالــنَّــجْــمِ حِــيــنَ هَــوَى
مَــا الْــمُــعَــافَــى وَ الــسَّــقِــيــمُ سَــوَى
qasamanā biālnnajmi ḥiīna hawā
maāl muʿaāfa wal ssaqiīmu sawā
An oath was sworn "By the star when it declines";
Good health and sickness are not alike.
فَــاخْــلَــعِ الْــكَــوْنَــيْــنِ عَــنْــكَ سِــوَى
حُــبِّ مَــوْلَــى الْــعُــرْبِ وَالْــعَــجَــمِ
faākhlaʿil kawnayni ʿanka siwā
ḥubbi mawlal ʿurbi wal ʿajami
So divest yourself of the two universes,
except for Love for the Master of the Arabs and non-Arabs.

وَسَــجَــايَــاهُ وَسِــيــرَتُــهُ
qamarun ṭaābat sarīratuhu
wa sajaāyaāhu wa siīratuhu
Like a moon, good and wholesome is his heart
his character and his way of life.
صَــفْــوَةُ الْــبَــارِي وَخِــيــرَتُــهُ

No eye has seen, or ever will see,
A human being the like of TaHa.
خَــيْــرُ مَــنْ فَــوْقَ الــثَّــرَى أَثَــرَا
طَــاهِــرُ الْأَخْــلَاقِ وَالــشَّــيَــمِ
