Mawlaya salli wa sallim daiman abadan

I transgressed the sunnat of him (Nabi, Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) who passed the night (in ibaadat). Until his feet complained of injury due to being swollen. And he tied and folded, on account of hunger, around his stomach. A stone beneath which is his delicate skin.

Alaa Habeebika Khayril Khalqi kullihimi And high mountains of gold (tried to) tempt him.

Mawlaya salli wa sallim daiman abadan

Towards it, but he was (completely) disinclined due to his high courage.

Alaa Habeebika Khayril Khalqi kullihimi His piety increased inspite of his need.

Mawlaya salli wa sallim daiman abadan

For verily need never prevails (overpowers) the infallible.

Alaa Habeebika Khayril Khalqi kullihimi

Mawlaya salli wa sallim daiman abadan

How can the necessities of such a noble personality incline him towards this world? For had it not been for him this world would not have come out of non existence.

Alaa Habeebika Khayril Khalqi kullihimi Muhammad (Sall Allahu alayhi wa Aalihi wa sallim) is the leader of both worlds and both creations (man and jinn). And of both groups, Arabs and non Arabs. (Min Al Qasidah Muhammadiyya)

Our Nabi, the one who commands (good), forbids (evil). There is non (parallel to him). More truthful than him in saying "No" or "Yes".

Alaa Habeebika Khayril Khalqi kullihimi

Mawlaya salli wa sallim daiman abadan

He is (Allahs) most beloved, whose intercession is hoped for. For every fear (and distress) that is going to come (on the day) of agony (and fears).

Alaa Habeebika Khayril Khalqi kullihimi

Mawlaya salli wa sallim daiman abadan

12

Alaa Habeebika Khayril Khalqi kullihimi He called (people) towards Allah, so those who cling to him. Clinging to a rope which will never snap.

Mawlaya salli wa sallim daiman abadan

Alaa Habeebika Khayril Khalqi kullihimi He transcends the Ambiyaa, physically and in (noble) character.

Mawlaya salli wa sallim daiman abadan

13

And none of them come near him in knowledge and noblility.

Alaa Habeebika Khayril Khalqi kullihimi They all obtained from Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) (Like a) handful (of water) from the ocean or (a few) sips from continuous rains.

Mawlaya salli wa sallim daiman abadan

Alaa Habeebika Khayril Khalqi kullihimi

Mawlaya salli wa sallim daiman abadan

14

And they all stopped before him at their (assigned) limits. (Either) of a point of knowledge or to gain one wisdom from (his) wisdom.

Alaa Habeebika Khayril Khalqi kullihimi For he is the one with whom, ended all outward and inward perfection. And then the creator of all creation chose his as (His) most beloved.

Mawlaya salli wa sallim daiman abadan

15

Alaa Habeebika Khayril Khalqi kullihimi So the extreme depth of (our) knowledge concerning him, is that he is a man. And verily he is the best of all the creation of Allah.

Mawlaya salli wa sallim daiman abadan

Alaa Habeebika Khayril Khalqi kullihimi (From al Burdah eighth part)

Mawlaya salli wa sallim daiman abadan

And whoever has taken Rasulullah as his helper

16

Even if a lion meets him in its den it begins to fear.

(Then) be pleased with Abu-Bakr and Omar (Radiyallahu Anhuma). And Ali and Uthman (Radhi Allahu Anhumma), the people of nobility. Forgive its writer and forgive those who recite it.

(From al Burdah, tenth part)

I ask of you all that is good, O You the Most Generous and Most Munificent.
