My heart remains obstinate
and overwhelmed in yearning, longing
And pounding for the Prophet.
I do pass whole night in vigil, eulogizing
And commemorating who is absolute pure
From the beginning to the end of his life.
Registering my eulogy for the Prophet in my night vigil
While my neighbours were all fast asleep and my eyelids
Are shedding tears like falling rains.
Putting the eulogy in proper order, by
commemorating his attribute what can be better
Than commemorating the precious moon.
Muhammad is the master key to all fortunes
And my master, he is the seal of the thread
To the apostles and as well as their Leader.
Through him all the apostles obtained their favour
And by his blessing divine platform were adorned,
Therefore, extol and magnify him.
He was a confirmed messenger of Allah before
The existence of Adam and he will perpetually
Remain such and exalted.
Sollallahu alayhi wa sallam.
