Yā khayra hādin li-l-anāmi tasāmā

يَا خَيْرَ هَادٍ لِلْأَنَامِ تَسَامَى

Arabic text

يَا خَيْرَ هَادٍ لِلْأَنَامِ تَسَامَى

عَطْفًا عَلَى مَنْ ذَابَ فِيكَ غَرَامَا

أَنْتَ الَّذِي شَرَّفْتَ كُلَّ مُشَرَّفٍ

وَمَنَحْتَنَا يَا ذَا الْعَطَا إِنْعَامَا

يَا سَيِّدَ الْكَوْنَيْنِ يَا عَلَمَ الْهُدَى

يَا مَنْ أَتَى بِالْمُرْسَلِينَ خِتَامَا

English translation

O best of guides for mankind, who has ascended in loftiness,

Show compassion to one who has melted in fervent love for you.

You are the one who has bestowed honor upon every honored soul,

And granted us, O Possessor of Generosity, your favor.

O Master of the two worlds, O Beacon of Guidance,

O you who came as the Seal of all the Messengers.
