Generous in nature, beautiful in traits

The prophet of creation, intercessor of nations

Leader of the messengers, guide of the path

Trusted by God, the place where Gabriel descends

Intercessor of mankind, master of resurrection and spread

Leader of guidance, head of the Day of Assembly

A Moses whose celestial sphere is his Mount Sinai

All lights are the reflection of his light

Obeyed intercessor, noble prophet

A divider, substantial, gentle, and graceful

An orphan who, without study, perfected the Quran

And erased the libraries of many nations

When his resolve unsheathed the sword of fear

With a miracle, he split the moon in two

As his fame spread across the world

It caused the palace of Khosrow to tremble

He shattered the idol of Lat with the rod of 'No'

And with the honor of faith, he took away the influence of Uzza

He raised no dust from Lat and Uzza

For he abrogated the Torah and the Gospel

One night he ascended beyond the heavens

With authority and honor, he surpassed the angels

So warmly he rode in the desert of nearness

That even Gabriel stopped at the Lote Tree

The master of the Sacred House said to him

O bearer of revelation, ascend higher

As you have found me sincere in friendship

Why did you turn the reins from my company?

He replied: Beyond this, I have no permission

I remained because my wings lacked strength

If I rise a hair’s breadth higher

The radiance of manifestation will burn my feathers

No one will remain in the grip of rebellion

Who has such a leader ahead

What fitting praise shall I offer you?

Peace be upon you, O Prophet of mankind

May the angels’ blessings be upon your soul

Upon your companions and followers be peace

The first, Abu Bakr, the old disciple

Umar, resting peacefully beside Saeed

The wise Uthman, awake through the night

The fourth, Ali, the king riding Duldul

O God, by the right of the children of Fatima

Let my faith be sealed upon this word

Whether You reject or accept my plea

I hold tight to the family of the Prophet

What loss befalls You, O noble one,

From Your high station at the Eternal's door?

When a group of beggars may linger near

As guests to Your abode of peace

Your Lord praised and glorified You

Gabriel kissed the earth in Your honor

The lofty heavens are humbled before Your rank

You were created while Adam was still clay and water

You are the origin of existence from the beginning

Everything else created is a branch of You

I know not what words to speak of You

For You are loftier than what I can say

The honor of 'If not for You' suffices for You

The praise of You in Ta-Ha and Ya-Sin suffices

How can Saadi, incomplete, describe You?

Peace and blessings be upon You, O Prophet of peace
