That sovereign of all the world; Whose name is Mustafa—the chosen one; Who is the elite of the lovers of the True God; Who is bright like the midday sun. Verily, all light is due to his light; He who is accepted by him is accepted by God. He is the one that, for life, is the flowing water; And a limitless ocean of spiritual insight. He it is in support of whose truthfulness and excellence, Hundreds of incontrovertible proofs and arguments have been made manifest to the world. His countenance radiates the light of God; His path manifests the works of God.
All Prophets and truthful ones are his devotees; They are like dust at his doorstep.
Love for him elevates one to the heaven; And transforms one like the lambent moon in purity.
He demonstrates to the Pharaohs of every age, Hundreds of signs like that of the white hand of Moses.

Praise and Appreciation of the Holy Prophetsa (Persian Poem) Can I ever succeed in adequately praising the exalted leader; Whom the heaven and earth and both the worlds cannot praise enough?
The station of nearness that he has achieved with the Eternal Beloved Is beyond the ken of all those who have ever attained nearness to God.
None in this world can even dream of
The favours with which the eternal beloved continues to visit him.He is the leader of the elect of God and king of the company of lovers; His soul has traversed every stage of union with the Beloved.
That blessed one who is the manifestation of divine signs, Came as a mercy from the Nourisher of all the worlds.
His is the exalted and unique station in the divine court; Which is beyond the reach of the elect and the great.
He is Ahmad of the latter days,
