khayri l-khalqi wa-'ahlaha
khayru l-khalqi huwa l-hadi
'azka l-khalqi wa-'ardaha
qabla l-khalqi l-muta'allim
badru n-nuri l-mutalaththim
wa-ra'a l-haqqa wa-'anwarah
'an 'ahli l-bayti l-'ashraf
wa-l-'ashabi 'uli-l-'insaf
god's blessings be upon taha
best of creation and the sweetest
the light of existence shines through him
he encompassed all mankind with his guidance
purest of creation and the most pleasing
he was taught before all other creation
the veiled light of the full moon
guiding creation to its lord
beyond the sidra he walked
and saw the truth and his lights
the spirit stopped and did not continue
may god be pleased with his intimates
who gained eternity and its dwelling
with whom god is satisfied
his face is like the moon
the most beautiful of names
