Ṣalli yā Rabbi thumma sallim 'alā man Huwa li-l-khalqi raḥmatun wa-shifā'un Wa-'ala l-āli wa-ṣ-ṣaḥābati jam'an Ma tazayyanat bi-n-nujūmi s-samā'u

So pray my Lord and bestow blessings upon him Who is for all mankind, a grace and a healing So also on his fair Companions and kinsmen With blessings that abide like the sky's lofty ceiling.

Accept and pity them as my intercessor Upon the day when all need an intercessor. And in this gloomy age keep me and my people For in our day our power has grown faint and feeble.

For in these times the faith is once more a stranger Thus did you once foretell, the decent in danger. So catch us lest we fall in the pit of peril For on this day we tire, after blunder and quarrel.
