I am the slave of the Master of all Prophets and my fealty to the Beloved One [Salal laaho Allayhi Wasalllam] has no beginning.
I am the slave of the slaves, and of RasoolAllah [Salal laaho Allayhi Wasalllam] slave’s slave, and so forth endlessly,
For I do not cease to approach the door of RasoolAllah [Salal laaho Allayhi Wasalllam] good pleasure among the beginners.
I proclaim amongst people the teachings of RasoolAllah [Salal laaho Allayhi Wasalllam] high attributes, and recite his praises among the poets.
Perhaps the Beloved One [Salal laaho Allayhi Wasalllam] shall say to me: “You are an accepted slave of mine, a truly excellent beautifier of my tribute.”
Yes, I would sacrifice my soul for the dust of RasoolAllah [Salal laaho Allayhi Wasalllam] sanctuary. The King [Salal laaho Allayhi Wasalllam] blessings of acceptance should be that he accepts my sacrifice.
He has triumphed who ascribes himself to him!
– Not that the Beloved [Salal laaho Allayhi Wasalllam] needs such following,
For RasoolAllah [Salal laaho Allayhi Wasalllam] is not in need of creation at all, while they all need him without exception.
The Beloved One [Salal laaho Allayhi Wasalllam] belongs to Allah alone, whose purified mercy he is, As his attributes and names have made manifest;
And every single favor in creation comes from Allah
to him and from him to everything else
