إِنْ قِيلَ زُرْتُمْ

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدْيَا رَبِّ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمْ

Allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā muḥammad, Yā rabbi ṣalli ʿalayhi wasallim

O Allah, send blessings on Muhammad; O Lord, bless him and grant him peace.

إِنْ قِيلَ زُرْتُمْ بِمَ رَجَعْتُمْيَا أَكْرَمَ الخَلْقِ مَا نَقُولُ

In qīla zurtum bima rajaʿtum, Yā akrama al-khalqi mā naqūlu

If it is said: "You visited; with what did you return?" O most generous of creation, what shall we say?

قُولُوا رَجَعْنَا بِكُلِّ خَيْرٍوَاجْتَمَعَ الْفَرْعُ وَالْأُصُولُ

Qūlū rajaʿnā bikulli khayrin, Wajtamaʿa al-farʿu wa-al-ʾuṣūlu

Say: "We returned with every good, and branch and root were united."

لَوْلَاكَ يَا زِينَةَ الوُجُودِمَا طَابَ عَيْشِي وَلَا وُجُودِي

Lawlāka yā zīnata al-wujūdi, Mā ṭāba ʿayshī walā wujūdī

Were it not for you, O adornment of existence, my life and my being would not be sweet,

وَلَا تَرَنَّمْتُ فِي صَلَاتِيوَلَا رُكُوعِي وَلَا سُجُودِي

Walā tarannamtu fī ṣalātī, Walā rukūʿī walā sujūdī

Nor would I have chanted in my prayer, nor in my bowing, nor in my prostration.

أَيَا لَيَالِي الرِّضَى عَلَيْنَاعُودِي لِيَخْضَرَّ مِنْكَ عُودِي

Ayā layālī ar-riḍā ʿalaynā, ʿūdī liyakhḍarra minka ʿūdī

O nights of contentment upon us, return, that my branch may grow green through you.

عُودِي عَلَيْنَا بِكُلِّ خَيْرٍبِالمُصْطَفَى طَيِّبِ الْجُدُودِ

ʿūdī ʿalaynā bikulli khayrin, Bi-al-muṣṭafā ṭayyibi al-judūdi

Return to us with every good, through the Chosen One of pure ancestry.

ثُمَّ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى نَبِيِّنَاوَآلِهِ الرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ

Thumma aṣ-ṣalātu ʿalā nabiyyinā, Waʾālihi ar-rukkaʿi as-sujūdi

Then blessings upon our Prophet, and his family, who bow and prostrate.
