      Qasida Salam - Arabic, Transliteration and Translation

      سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ قَبْرٍ يُزَارُ مِنَ الْبُعْدِ
      سَلَامٌ عَلَى الرَّوْضَةْ وَفِيهَا مُحَمَّدٍ
      Salāmun ʿalā qabrin yuzāru mina l-buʿdi
      Salāmun ʿalā r-Rawḍa wa fīhā Muḥammadin
      1. Peace and greetings to a grave that is visited from afar.
      Peace be upon the Garden wherein lies Muhammad.
      سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ مَنْ زَارَ فِي اللَّيْلِ رَبَّهُ
      فَبَلَّغَهُ الْمَرْغُوبَ فِي كُلِّ مَقْصَدٍ
      Salāmun ʿalā man zāra fi l-layli Rabbahu
      Fa-ballaghahu l-marghūba fī kulli maqṣadin
      2. Peace upon him who in the night visited his Lord,
      Who granted him attainment of his desire in all he aspired to.
      سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ مَنْ قَالَ لِلضَّبِّ مَنْ أَنَا
      فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ أَنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ
      Salāmun ʿalā man qāla li-ḍ-ḍabbi man anā
      Fa-qāla Rasūlu Llāhi anta Muḥammadin
      3. Peace be upon him who asked a lizard, “Who am I?"
      And it replied, “The Emissary of Allah. You are Muhammad."
      سَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمَدْفُونِ فِي أَرْضِ طَيْبَةَ
      وَمَنْ خَصَّهُ الرَّحْمَانُ بِالْفَضْلِ والْمَجْدِ
      Salāmun ʿalā l-madfūni fī arḍi Ṭaybata
      Wa man khaṣṣahu r-Raḥmānu bi-l-faḍli wa l-majdi
      4. Peace upon the one buried in the land of Tayba (Madina).
      And whom the All-Merciful singled out for pre-eminence and glory;
      نَبِيٌّ حَبَاهُ اللهُ بِالْحُسْنِ وَالْبَهَا
      فَطُوبَىٰ لِعَبْدٍ زَارَ قَبْرَ مُحَمَّدٍ
      Nabiyyun ḥabāhu Llāhu bi-l-ḥusni wa l-bahā
      Fa-ṭubā li-ʿabdin zāra qabra Muḥammadin
      5. A Prophet whom Allah granted beauty and splendour.
      Blessed, then, is any servant [of Allah] who visits the grave of Muhammad.
      أَيَا رَاكِبًا نَحْوَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَاصِدًا
      فَبَلِّغْ سَلَامِي لِلْحَبِيبِ مُحَمَّدٍ
      Ayā rākiban naḥwa l-Madīnati qāṣidan
      Fa-balligh salāmī li-l-ḥabībi Muḥammadin
      6. O you who are riding straight ahead towards Madina,
      Convey my greetings to the Beloved Muhammad.
      فِي رَوْضَتِهِ الْحُسْنَىٰ مُنَايَ وَبُغْيَتِي
      وَفِيهَا شِفَا قَلْبِي وَرُوحِي وَرَاحَتِي
      Fī Rawḍatihi l-ḥusnā munāya wa bughyatī
      Wa fīhā shifā qalbī wa rūḥī wa rāḥatī
      7. Within his most lovely Garden is my sole desire and goal,
      Therein lies the remedy for my heart and soul, and therein my comfort.
      فَإِنْ بَعُدَتْ عَنِّي وَعَزَّ مَزَارُهَا
      فَتِمْثَالُهَا لَدَيَّ أَحْسَنُ صُورَةٍ
      Fa-in baʿudat ʿannī wa ʿazza mazāruhā
      Fa-timthāluhā ladayya aḥsanu ṣūratin
      8. For although it is far from me and difficult to visit,
      The picture of it in my mind’s eye is the loveliest of forms.
      أُنَزِّهُ طَرْفَ الْعَيْنِ فِي حُسْنِ رَوْضِهَا
      فَيَسْلُو بِهَا لُبِّي وَسِرِّي وَمُهْجَتِي
      Unazzihu ṭarfa l-ʿayni fī ḥusni rawḍihā
      Fa-yaslū bihā lubbī wa sirrī wa muhjatī
      9. I cleanse my eyesight by picturing the beauty of its gardens,
      So that my mind, being and inmost soul find solace.
      فَهَا أَنَا يَا قُطْبَ الْعَوَالِمِ كُلِّهَا
      أُقَبِّلُهَا شَوْقًا لِإِشْفَاءِ عِلَّتِي
      Fa-hā anā yā Quṭba l-ʿAwālimi kullihā
      Uqabbiluhā shawqan li-ishfā'i ʿillatī
      10. So here I am, O Axis of the entire Universe!
      I place my lips on it in yearning, to have my ailment healed.
      وَصَلِّ عَلَىٰ قُطْبِ الْوُجُودِ مُحَمَّدٍ
      صَلَاةً بِهَا تَمْحُو عَنَّا كُلَّ زَلَّةٍ
      Wa ṣalli ʿalā Quṭbi l-wujūdi Muḥammadin
      Ṣalātan bihā tamḥū ʿannā kulla zallatin
      11. Send prayers upon the Centre of all creation, Muhammad,
      Prayers through which all our shortcomings are effaced.
      لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهْ لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهْ
      لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهْ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللّٰهْ
      Lā ilāha illa Llāh Lā ilāha illa Llāh
      Lā ilāha illa Llāh Muḥammad Rasūlu Llāh
      12. There is no god but Allah. There is no god but Allah.
      There is no god but Allah. Muhammad is the Emissary of Allah.
