Imam al-Qadi Yusuf al-Nabhani رَحِمَهُ ٱللَّٰهُ

1.

Ana 'abdun li-sayyidi al-anbiya'i wa wala'i lahu al-qadimu wala'i

I am the slave of the Master of Prophets / And my fealty to him has no beginning.

2.

Ana 'abdun li-'abdihi wali-'abdi al-'abdi 'abdun kadha bi-ghayri intiha'i

I am slave to his slave, and to his slave's slave, / And so forth endlessly!

3.

Ana la antahi 'anil-qurbi min babi ridahu fi jumlati al-dukhala'i

I do not cease to approach the door / Of his good pleasure among the novices.

4.

Anshuru al-'ilma fi ma'alihi lil-nasi wa-ashdu bihi ma'al-shu'ara'i

I proclaim to all the science of his high attributes, / And sing this science among the poets.

5.

Fa 'asahu yaqulu li anta Salmanu wala'i Hassanu husni thana'i

Perhaps he will tell me: "You are the Salman / Of my allegiance, the Hassan of my excellent homage!"

6.

Wa-biruhi afdi turaba himahu wa-lahul-fadlu fi qabuli fida'i

Yes, I would sacrifice my soul for the dust of his sanctuary! / His favor should be that he accept my sacrifice.

7.

Faza man yantami ilayhi wa-la hajata fihi bi-dhalika al-intima'i

He has triumphed who ascribes himself to him — / Not that he needs such following,

8.

Huwa fi ghunyatin 'ani al-khalqi turran wa humu al-kullu 'anhu duna ghina'i

For he is not in need of creation at all, / While they all need him without exception.

9.

Wa-huwa lil-Lahi wahdihi 'abduhu al-khalisu mujalla al-sifati wal-asma'i

He belongs to Allah alone, / Whose pure servant he is, as his attributes and names have made manifest;

10.

Kullu fadlin fil-khalqi fa-huwa min Allahi ilayhi wa-minhu lil-ashya'i

And every single favor in creation comes from Allah / To him, and from him to everything else.
