Let me tell the tale of your birth,
Angels singing the praises of your worth,
Mustafa prostrating in gratitude on the pure Earth,
Oh lady of light,
In front of your majesty,
What is my worth!

The grounds tremble and quake,
The Kaaba in happiness rotates,
Khadija the Princess of the Quraish,
Is about to fulfil her fate.

To come to her aid,
I can see heavens midwives and hand maids,
I see Huwa, Maryam and Aisiya,
Sitting beside  and comforting Lady Khadija,
Such is your stature in God's eyes oh Fatima.

I see your father filled with pride and honour,
As he cradles this beloved daughter,
Naming her Fatima,
The one who protects her lovers from hellfire.

In Haider's eyes,
Sūrah Kauther has already been inscribed,
A match made in heaven,
Whose ending is in the best of destinations.

Our creation is all due to your existence,
In the Lord's eyes this is your importance,
That without your Noor there would not be the skies,
The trees or the heavens,
Even the Quran is but in your praise a supplication
So indebted to you is every and all nations,
We are but your humble servants.

And as you are born,
I see the Moon go behind its nightly cover,
As it knows that you light up the sky brighter,
This is your eminence oh Syeda!

The sun also observed hijab from your radiant beauty,
Every living being is in awe of you,
Oh Queen of the seven seas,
From a small movement of your fingers,
You can change the direction of the breeze,
And mountains bow down to you on their knees.

Roses begin to wither,
As they know their scent to yours will never compare,
Your heavenly fragrance fills the air,
An aroma the world will yearn for eternity.

Oh Tahera,
There is no one purer,
No one with your grandeur,
Only you are the mistress of heaven's dwellers,
Of 11 imams, you are the mother.

We raise our hands to sky and to God we plead with tears in our eyes,
We ask for forgiveness in your name,
Oh ya Zahra!
Help us to uphold your message and banner,
Oh Hussain's mother,
Please be our protector and our saviour
