الغالي رسول الله
Arabic text
يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ
خَيْرِ الْأَنَامِ وَآلِهِ
بِجَمَالِهِ بِجَلَالِهِ
بِكَمَالِهِ بِمَقَالِهِ
خَيْرُ الْأَنَامِ مُحَمَّدٌ
الْفَضْلُ مِنْ أَفْضَالِهِ
قَدْ قَالَ رَبِّي رَحْمَةٌ
لِلْخَلْقِ فِي إِرْسَالِهِ
دَارُ النَّعِيمِ مَقَامُهُ
وَالْخُلْدُ فِي إِقْبَالِهِ
فَمَتَى أُقَبِّلُ تُرْبَةً
كَانَتْ مَقَرَّ نِعَالِهِ
وَ مَتَى أُشَاهِدُ رَوْضَةً
مَمْلُوءَةً بِنَوَالِهِ
وَأَشُمُّ مِنْ طِيبِ الْحَبِيبِ
وَأَقِيلُ تَحْتَ ظِلَالِهِ
وَيَدُورُ كَأْسُ شَرَابِهِ
مِنْ عَذْبِ مَاءِ قِلَالِهِ
يَا حَبَّذَا لَوْ زَارَنِي
حَتَّى بِطَيْفِ خِيَالِهِ
الْوُدُّ مِنْهُ لَقَدْ بَدَا
وَكَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْبَالِهِ
وَأُحِبُّهُ وَأَوَدُّهُ
حَقًّا لِطِيبِ خِصَالِهِ
مَا جَاءَ مِثْلُ مُحَمَّدٍ
مَا جَاءَ مِثْلُ مِثَالِهِ
فِي الصَّخْرِ أَثَّرَ مَشْيَهُ
مَا غَاصَ فَوْقَ رِمَالِهِ
وَأَشَارَ لِلْبَدْرِ انْقَسَم
فَانْشَقَّ مِثْلَ هِلَالِهِ
وَالْجِذْعُ أَنَّ تَشَوُّقًا
لِكَلَامِهِ وَمَقَالِهِ
يَحْمِي الْكِنَانَةَ سَيِّدًا
كَاللَّيْثِ فِي أَشْبَالِهِ
اللَّهُ يَحْفَظُ زَائِرًا
قَدْ سَارَ بَيْنَ جِبَالِهِ
يَمْشِي إِلَيْهِ مُهَرْوِلًا
لِيَفُوزَ يَوْمَ نَوَالِهِ
اللَّهُ يَحْفَظُ قَلْبَهُ
بِالنُّورِ فِي أَحْوَالِهِ
وَيَظِلُّ فِي بَرَكَاتِهِ
وَيَزِيدُ فِي أَمْوَالِهِ
ثُمَّ الصَّلَاةُ مَعَ السَّلَامِ
عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَآلِهِ
مَا الْجَعْفَرِيُّ بِمَدْحِهِ
يَشْدُو بِصِدْقِ مَقَالِهِ

English translation
O Lord, send blessings upon the Prophet
The best of mankind and upon his Family
In his perfection and his speech
In his beauty and his majesty
Muhammad, the best of mankind
All bounty is from his bounties
My Lord said 'Out of Mercy
Was he sent for the creation'
The place of bliss is his abode
And the creation are all seeking him
So when will I kiss the earth?
Which was the dwelling where his sandals stepped
And when will I be able to witness the Rawdah?
Which is filled with his gifts
And smell the perfume of the Beloved
And rest under his shade?
The cup of his drink is being shared
From the sweet water of his pitcher
How sweet! If only he was to visit me
Even if it is just a vision from his thoughts
Love has truly appeared from him
As it has from his children
I love him and am devoted to him
Truly, for the purity of his characteristics
The like of Muhammad has never been seen
Neither the like of his like has ever been
On solid rock his feet left prints
Yet upon sand they did not sink
He indicated to the moon to split
And so it split like two crescents
The tree trunk cried in yearning
For his words and speech
The Sayed protects the Land of Kinana-Egypt
Like a lion among its cubs
Allāh protects a visitor
Who has begun to walk between his mountains
He walks to him in haste
To be successful on the Day of his Giving
Allāh protects his heart
With the light in all his states
And he remains continuously in his blessings
And he increases him in wealth
May blessings along with peace
Be upon the Prophet and his Family
For al-Jaʿfarī does not with his praise
Claim to sing the reality of the Prophet's state
