يَا جَدَّ السُّلَالَةْ

يَا جَدَّ السُّلَالَةْيَا مَجْمَعَ كَمَالَهْ

Yā jadda as-sulāla, Yā majmaʿa kamālah

O grandfather of the noble line, O you in whom perfection is gathered!

فَائِقٌ لِلْبُدُورِمُقْتَبَسٌ بِنُورِهِ

Fāʾiqun lilbudūri, Muqtabasun binūrihi

Surpassing the full moons, who take their light from his light,

مُشْتَاقٌ أَنْ أَزُورَهُعِنْدَهُ الدَّمْعُ سَالَا

Mushtāqun an azūrahu, ʿindahu ad-damʿu sālā

I long to visit him; before him tears have flowed.

رُؤْيَاكَ النَّبِيَّسَعَادَةٌ هَنِيَّةْ

Ruʾyāka an-nabiyya, Saʿādatun haniyya

To see you, O Prophet, is a joyful happiness,

بِرِيحِهَا الْعِطْرِيَّةْفِي النَّوْمِ أَوْ خَيَالَا

Birīḥihā al-ʿiṭriyya, Fī an-nawmi aw khayālā

With its perfumed fragrance, in sleep or in imagination.

جِئْتُ لِلرِّحَابِوَاقِفٌ بِبَابِه

Jiʾtu lilrriḥābi, Wāqifun bibābih

I have come to the courtyards, standing at his door;

بِمَجْمَعِ الْأَحْبَابِحَطَطْتُ الرِّحَالَ

Bimajmaʿi al-ʾaḥbābi, Ḥaṭaṭtu ar-riḥāla

In the gathering of the beloveds I have set down my saddlebags.

أَسَدٌ فَوْقَ نَارَاحَيْدَرْ الْكَرَّارَ

Asadun fawqa nārā, Ḥaydar al-karrāra

A lion atop fire, Haydar, who charges again and again:

كَمْ بِالسَّيْفِ صَالَكَمْ رَعَدَ الْجِبَالَ

Kam bi-as-sayfi ṣāla, Kam raʿada al-jibāla

How often he attacked with the sword! How often he made the mountains thunder!

أَهْلِي وَقَبُولِيبِالزَّهْرَا الْبَتُولِ

Ahlī waqabūlī, Bi-az-zahrā al-batūli

My family and my acceptance are through al-Zahra' al-Batul;

يَا بِنْتَ الرَّسُولِبَلِّغِي الْآمَالَ

Yā binta ar-rasūli, Ballighī al-ʾāmāla

O daughter of the Messenger, help us reach our hopes!

بِزَيْنَبَ الْمُشِيرَةْوَنَفِيسَةَ الْكَبِيرَةْ

Bizaynaba al-mushīra, Wanafīsata al-kabīra

By Zaynab, the counsellor, and Nafisa, the great,

وَعَائِشَةَ الْمُنِيرَةْأَنْتُمْ خَيْرُ آلَ

Waʿāʾishata al-munīra, Antum khayru ʾāla

And 'A'isha, the radiant: you are the best of families.

إِنَّنَا نَوَيْنَاعِنْدَهُ أَتَيْنَا

Innanā nawaynā, ʿindahu ataynā

We have made our intention, and we have come to him;

يَا جَدَّ الْحَسَنَيْنِإِنَّ الشَّوْقَ طَالَ

Yā jadda al-ḥasanayni, Inna ash-shawqa ṭāla

O grandfather of al-Hasan and al-Husayn, our longing has grown long.

قَدَّمْنَا الْهَدِيَّةَلِلْعِتْرَةِ الزَّكِيَّةِ

Qaddamnā al-hadiyyata, Lilʿitrati az-zakiyyati

We have presented our gift to the pure family:

صَلَاةٌ عَلَى النَّبِيِّهُوَ بَاهِي الْجَمَالِ

Ṣalātun ʿalā an-nabiyyi, Huwa bāhī al-jamāli

Blessings upon the Prophet, he of resplendent beauty.
