rough translation BismiLlahir-Rahmanir-Raheem O Allah! Send Peace and Blessings upon Muhammad And send Peace and Blessings upon The Intercessor for us, Muhammad If you desire happiness in both the Abodes, Then give increase to the Salawat upon Muhammad And if you prayed, then seek the reward thereupon And petition through the Salawat upon Muhammad And if you desire it to be surely accepted Then seal it with the Salawat upon Muhammad So neither Fasting is sound, nor Prayer Of one who forsakes the Salawat upon Muhammad The result of all your actions shall be good, If you sent salutations within them upon Muhammad And arise in the night and supplicate to Allah and turn To your Lord by the Salawat upon Muhammad And say 'O Lord! Do not sever my hopes And be my Aid for the sake of the Salawat upon Muhammad So hasten with the writing upon this little slave Who makes his plea by means of the Salawat upon Muhammad He fears because of his sins, but yet hopes for Safety through the Salawat upon Muhammad And [O Allah] aid me during my last, for I have Implored you for the sake of the Salawat upon Muhammad Thus, good deeds are not multiplied except By repeating the Salawat upon Muhammad And if you see a people devoid in them Love for sending Salawat upon Muhammad Then, safeguard from them and seek other than them And make rememberance with the Salawat upon Muhammad So accumulation of goodness and blessings is not Seen except with the Salawat upon Muhammad And fear your Lord, whether alone or in open And send Salutations upon the Intercessor for us, Muhammad And if it happened that your sins were innumerable Cover them with the Salawat upon Muhammad And when death comes and you see the commandment That shall delight you because of the Salawat upon Muhammad You shall succeed in your grave and in safety And receive mercy through the Salawat upon Muhammad And fear not terror from the two Angels When they question you say to them: Muhammad The true Messenger of Allah, and whom we follow And in whom we bear faith and believe in, is Muhammad And the grave shall be opened and made spacious for you For being fervent in the Salawat upon Muhammad And on the Day of Ressurection you will be recompensed For what you sent forth from the rememberance of Muhammad And on the Day of Account when you are ressurected Have safety through the Salawat upon Muhammad And come to the Pond of Kawthar, drinking from the cup he gives, Then quench your thirst with the Salawat upon Muhammad And pass over the Bridge like a flash of lightning By your exuberant abundance of the Salawat upon Muhammad And enter Paradise no death therein For what you have sent forth from the rememberance of Muhammad Then this in entirety is from the Bounty of my Lord Who has guided us to send Salawat upon Muhammad And live luxuriously in the Bliss and among companions with beautiful eyes In that Abode, where our neighbor shall be Muhammad And see your Lord, The Majestic and Glorious Because of your rememberance of the Salawat upon Muhammad So we Praise Allah and Thank Him manifold For the Bounty of the Salawat upon Muhammad The Messenger, The Abtahi, The Hashimi The Intercessor of sinners tomorrow, Muhammad Peace, that is Pleasant, Fragrant, Magnificent Upon the Chosen One, our Master Muhammad O Guide of all creation! and O Intercessor!

as Salaamu alaykum wa RahmatuLlah, This is a qasida by the great Sayyid Saleh 'Izz ud-Din Jaylani (Qaddas Allahu sirrahu), a Yemeni descendent of Mehboob Subhani, Ghawth al-A'azam Sayyiduna Abdul Qadir Jaylani (Qaddas Allahu sirrahu), who came to East Africa, and influenced our beloved Habib Ahmad Mash-hur al-Haddad (Qaddas Allahu sirrahu) to even abandon a small business and focus only on da'wah.
