Send salutations upon him, the intercessor of the Muslim nation
Bi dhikri r-Rasūl tushḥadhu l-himmah
By mentioning the messenger we sharpen our zeal
Yā Rabbi bi-jāhin Nabī ’azihi l-ghummah
O God, for the sake of the prophet, clear the adversity
Ṣallū ‘ala l-Hādi l-Bashīr*
Send salutations upon The Guide and Bearer of good tidings
Ḥabībī l-Badri l-Munīr
My beloved the luminous full moon
Shafī’ī ‘inda l-Qadīr
My intercessor with the All-Powerful
Ṣallū ‘alay
Send salutations upon him!

Ṣallū bi-’aḥla l-kalām
Send salutations upon him with the sweetest of words!
Ṣallū ‘ala l-badri t-tamām Salutations upon him, the full-moon
Rasūlī, khayri l-’anām
My messenger, the best of mankind!
