Mustafaa Jaane rahmat pe lakhon SalaamSham’e bazme hidayat pe lakhon Salaam
Millions of salutations on the Chosen One , the Essence of Mercy
Millions of salutations on the Guiding Light
Door-o-Nazdeek ke sunne vaale Vo KaanKaane la’le karaamat pe lakhon salaam
Those Ears which can hear both from near and afar
Millions of salutations on the beauty of those miraculous Ears!
Noor ke chashme lehraein darya baheinUnglion ki karamat pe lakhon Salaam
Fountains of Spiritual Light, like seas over flowing
Millions of salutations on the miracle of His Blessed Fingers
Kul jahan milk aur jau ki roti ghizaUs shikam ki qana’at pe lakhon Salaam
Bestowed ownership of the world, yet He fed on barley bread
Millions of salutations on that most content self-restraint
Ghause Azam Imamut Tuqa wan NuqaJalvae Shaane Qudrat pe lakhon Salaam
The Greatest Helper, Shaiekh Abdul Qaadir Jeelani
(May Allaah be well pleased with him),

[When] the angels say to me,”Yes, Raza [recite],” [I will say]:
Millions of salutations on the Chosen One , the Essence of Mercy
