Ey mihr-i "lâ yezâl"in mehtâb-ı müstenîri
Envâr-ı Kibriyâ'ya sensin yegâne mazhar

Zâtınla zât-ı akdes olmuşdu zarf u mazrûf
Dillerde ism-i pâkin Allah ile berâber

Mahbûb-i müctebâsın sultân-ı enbiyâsın
Uşşâka reh-nümâsın sen ey şefî'-i mahşer

Sîret ne söyleyim ben meddâhı Kibriyâ'dır
Tavsîfe muktedir mi mehtâbı kirm-i ahter

Oh bright moon of the Everlasting sun
Only you contain (reflect?) the Almighty's light

Your self and the Divine have become intertwined
Your pure name is uttered alongside Allah's name

You are finest of all beloveds, sultan of all prophets
You guide the lovers, oh the intercessor on Judgment Day

Siret, what else can I say, the Almighty praises you
Could a mere firefly describe the full moon?
