يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلْكَوْكَبُ ٱلدُّرِّيُّ

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ الْكَوْكَبُ الدُّرِّيُّأَنْتَ إِمَامُ ٱلْحَضْرَةْ سُلْطَانُهَا ٱلْغَيْبِيُّ

Yā ayyuhā an-nabiyyu al-kawkabu ad-durriyyu, Anta imāmu al-ḥaḍra sulṭānuhā al-ghaybiyyu

O Prophet, O shining star, you are the imam of the Presence, its unseen sultan.

لَكَ الْعُلَا وَٱلسُّؤْدُدْ وَٱلشَّرَفُ ٱلْمُؤَيَّدْوَأَنْتَ يَا مُحَمَّدْ بَدْرُ الدُّجَى ٱلسَّنِيُّ

Laka al-ʿulā wa-as-suʾdud wa-ash-sharafu al-muʾayyad, Waʾanta yā muḥammad badru ad-dujā as-saniyyu

Yours are loftiness, lordship and divinely supported honour, and you, O Muhammad, are the resplendent full moon of the dark.

لَاذَتْ بِكَ الْأَمْلَاكُ دَارَتْ بِكَ الْأَفْلَاكُلَوْلَاكَ مَا الْأَخْلَاقُ سُنْدُسُهَا مَجْلِيُّ

Lādhat bika al-ʾamlāku dārat bika al-ʾaflāku, Lawlāka mā al-ʾakhlāqu sundusuhā majliyyu

The angels sought refuge in you, the spheres revolved around you; were it not for you, noble character would never have been unveiled in its silk.

لِوَاؤُكَ ٱلْمَعْقُودُ وَظِلُّكَ ٱلْمَمْدُودُوَأَنْتَ يَا مَحْمُودُ ضِمْنَ ٱلضَّرِيحِ حَيُّ

Liwāʾuka al-maʿqūdu waẓilluka al-mamdūdu, Waʾanta yā maḥmūdu ḍimna aḍ-ḍarīḥi ḥayyu

Your banner is tied, your shade is extended, and you, O Mahmud, are alive within the tomb.

بَدَتْ بِكَ ٱلْآثَارُ وَلَأْلَأَتِ ٱلْأَنْوَارُوَأَنْتَ يَا مُخْتَارُ فِي ٱلْكَائِنَاتِ حَيٌّ

Badat bika al-ʾāthāru walaʾlaʾati al-ʾanwāru, Waʾanta yā mukhtāru fī al-kāʾināti ḥayyun

Through you the traces appeared and the lights glittered, and you, O Chosen One, are alive throughout creation.

هِمَّتُكَ ٱلْفَعَّالَةْ وَيَدُكَ ٱلْهَطَّالَةْوَأَنْتَ لِلرِّسَالَةْ أَمِينُهَا ٱلْقَوِيُّ

Himmatuka al-faʿʿāla wayaduka al-haṭṭāla, Waʾanta lilrrisāla amīnuhā al-qawiyyu

Your aspiration is effective, your hand pours like rain, and you are the strong, trustworthy bearer of the message.

صَلَاةُ ذِي الْإِحْسَانِ عَلَيْكَ وَالْخِلَّانِمَا قَامَ فِي الْأَكْوَانِ لِكُلِّ نَشْرٍ طِيُّ

Ṣalātu dhī al-ʾiḥsāni ʿalayka wa-al-khillāni, Mā qāma fī al-ʾakwāni likulli nashrin ṭiyyu

The blessings of the Benevolent upon you and your close friends, as long as in creation every spreading is followed by a folding.
