Save me from every hardship here, O Master,
Protect me from every grief in the hereafter,
When I sit at the door-step of Your Prophet,
Grant me my death at that moment of faith, O Creator.
God’s splendour shines through his (Prophet Muhammad (saw)) personality,
There is no man like this man in all humanity,
The Qur'an describes him as our “Faith”,
The “Faith” tells us that he is its spiritual reality.
The Prophet’s grave is away from the Ka’bah’s location,
Why has it towards the left its situation?
I pondered and realised: The Ka’bah is the body;
And the Prophet’s grave is in its heart’s position.
God is your God; you are God’s pious Servant;
You are not God; you are God’s light and instrument,
It is justified to praise you as much as we like,
The only limit is that we cannot say that you God’s embodiment.
Piety yearns to borrow sins for enjoying your merciful recommendation,
How wonderful! There is an excellent aesthetic dimension to your intercession
Your merciful fingers are satisfying the thirst of your devotees generously,
How magnanimous! The five tributaries of mercy flow for us constantly.
The sun and the moon rush to receive from you the charity of light, O Master,
How precious! The bright dust produced by the hoofs of your horse is invaluable, O Majestic rider.
The Prophet’s eyes are searching for the sinners mercifully,
How lucky! My hardships will now change into good fortune suddenly.
Our kind intercessor has made an appeal to Allah’s compassion,
How miraculous! The sins are disappearing from my account in quick succession.
Has this soothing breeze come from the Holy City of Madinah today?
How refreshing! All the flowers smell sweeter and look fresher in every way.
I wish to sacrifice my life to uphold your dignity and honour,
How excellent! You are being praised in both worlds, Now and in the Hereafter.
I have sacrificed my life for the sake of upholding the dignity of Allah’s messenger,
Now the angels, Munkir and Nakeer, accord me to a distinctive honour.
The hot air if Taybah’s desert is a cool breeze for me,
My heart’s bud has blossomed through my devotion to the Prophet’s city.
Allah has informed you about every matter, hidden and manifest,
You know everything in depth concerning events in the world and the next.
I wish to hear this from you on the Day of Resurrection,
“Here is a letter confirming your pardon and salvation”.
If I luckily get the privilege of seeing your benign complexion,
I will never wish to see even a glimpse of any other person.
Who other than you have received the authority in all Creation?
To intercede on the Day of Judgment for Raza’s salvation.
