The Poem: Arabic & English Translation

Original Arabic	English Translation
تَوَاتَرَتِ الأَدِلَّةُ وَالنُّقُولُ فَمَا يُحْصِي المُصَنِّفُ مَا يَقُولُ	The textual evidences and narrations are recurrently transmitted, Such that an author cannot fully enumerate all that is stated.
بِأَنَّ المُصْطَفَى حَيٌّ طَرِيٌّ هِلَالٌ لَيْسَ يَطْرُقُهُ أُفُولُ	Proving that the Chosen One is alive and fresh, Like a crescent moon that is never overtaken by setting or eclipse.
وَأَنَّ الجِسْمَ مِنْهُ بِقَاعِ لَحْدٍ كَوَرْدٍ لَا يُدَنِّسُهُ الذُّبُولُ	And that his body at the bottom of his resting chamber Is like a rose, completely untouched by withering or decay.
وَأَنَّ الهَاشِمِيَّ بِكُلِّ وَصْفٍ جَمِيلٍ لَا يُغَيِّرُهُ الحُلُولُ	And that the Hashimi Prophet, in every single description, Remains beautiful; his essence is unaltered by occupying the grave.
وَأَنَّ الدُّودَ لَا يَأْتِي إِلَيْهِ كَذَا الآفَاتُ لَيْسَ لَهَا وُصُولُ	And that worms do not approach him, Just as pests and afflictions find no access to him.
وَلَمْ تَأْكُلْ لَهُ الغَبْرَاءُ لَحْماً وَلَا عَظْماً وَأُثْبِتُ مَا أَقُولُ	The dusty earth has not consumed his flesh Nor his bones—and I stand firm in what I affirm.
وَتَأْتِيهِ المَلَائِكُ كُلَّ حِينٍ تُحَيِّيهِ وَتَسْمَعُ مَا تَقُولُ	The angels come to him at every moment; They greet him, and he hears what they say.
وَتَأْتِيهِ بِأَرْزَاقٍ حِسَانٍ وَبِرٍّ حَيْثُ يَأْمُرُهَا الجَلِيلُ	They bring him beautiful, pure provisions And goodness, exactly as ordered by the Majestic Lord.
يُطَهَّرُ لِلصَّلَاةِ بِمَاءِ غَيْبٍ وَيَقْضِيهَا بِذَا وَرَدَ الدَّلِيلُ	He is purified for prayer with unseen celestial water, And performs it, as transmitted in scriptural evidence.
يُصَلِّي فِي الضَّرِيحِ صَلَاةَ خَمْسٍ دَوَاماً لَا يَمَلُّ وَلَا يَمِيلُ	He continuously performs the five obligatory prayers inside the tomb, Never tiring, and never wavering.
كَذَا الأَعْمَالُ تُعْرَضُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ عَلَيْهِ كَيْ يَسُرَّ بِهَا الرَّسُولُ	Likewise, the deeds of his nation are presented daily Unto him, so that the Messenger may rejoice through them.
فَإِنْ كَانَتْ صَلَاحاً قَامَ يَدْعُو إِلَى المَوْلَى وَيَسْمَعُ مَا يَقُولُ	If they are righteous, he stands invoking blessings, Directing prayers to the Lord, Who hears his speech.
