”My heart will glow through my love for the Prophet’s unique station;
Having heard that the night is dark, I am carrying this lamp for illumination.
O Prophet! The footprints of your servants are the surest guide to Allah–consciousness;
Those, who follow their example, are destined to achieve supreme spiritual success.
The graves of the lovers of your four Companions will become the bowers of Paradise:
Those, who carry four gardens in their hearts, will certainly be made flowers of Paradise.
They went, paid their homage to your grave and came back with pangs of separation;
Though the tears have dried in their eyes, their hearts are still full of admiration.
Some Paradise-mad people have degraded themselves to the level of rooks;
They should know that Medinah, the radiant, is the very essence of Paradise–brooks.
The cloud of your conversation possesses neither moisture nor texture;
An eloquent person has to bring his own eloquence to create literary pleasure.
Is there anything more significant than praising Allah’s Messenger?
Obviously, you are pretending to run away under a deceptive cover.
O Prophet! Your elegance and grace have been upheld by the Creator.
Even Jibreel cannot dare to understate the excellence of your splendour.”

“Rabbi ul Anwar, a month full of light, most illimunating. The spring of the believers. Believers rejoicing the coming of Sayyiduna Rasulullah salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, the hearts of the believers becoming happy. Allah subahanhu wa ta’ala brought Rahma to the worlds, from darkness into light. The Prophet salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam was brought for us. In essence, the real birthday of a believer is the 12th of Rabbi ul Anwar. Without the birth of Sayyiduna Rasulullah salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam we would not have been born as believers.”
