اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ

Allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā Sayyidinā Muḥammad

O Allah send Your blessings upon our master Muhammad

 السَّابِقِ لِلْخَلْقِ نُورُهُ

as-sābiq lil-khalqi nūruhu 

Whose light preceded all Creation!

وَالرَّحْمَةُ لِلْعَالَمِينَ ظُهُورُهُ

wa-r raḥmatu lil-ʿālamīna ẓuhūruhu

And whose appearance was a mercy for the worlds!

عَدَدَ مَنْ مَضَى مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ مَنْ بَقِيَ

ʿadada man maḍā min khalqika wa man baqiya 

(Blessings) the sum of all those who passed from Your creation & all those who remain!

وَ مَنْ سَعِدَ مِنْهُمْ وَ مَنْ شَقِيَ

wa man saʿida minhum wa man shaqiya

And all those who are fortunate among them & all those who are unfortunate!

صَلاةً تَسْتَغْرِقُ الْعَدَّ

ṣalātan tastaghriqu al-ʿadda

A Blessing that exhausts all numbers!

 وَ تُحِيطُ بِالْحَدِّ

wa tuḥīṭu bil-ḥaddi

And extends to all limits!

  صَلَاةً لَا غَايَةَ لَهَا وَ لَا انْتِهَاءَ

ṣalātan lā ghāyata lahā wa lā intihāʾ 

A Blessing that is limitless & endless!

وَ لَا أَمَدَ لَهَا وَ لَا انْقِضَاءَ

wa lā amada lahā wa lā inqiḍāʾ

(A Blessing) that is timeless and non-stop!

صَلَاتَكَ الَّتِي صَلَّيْتَ عَلَيْهِ

ṣalātaka al-latī ṣallayta ʿalayhi 

The Blessing that You personally blessed him with!

صَلَاةً دَائِمَةً بِدَوَامِكَ

ṣalātan dāʾimatan bidawāmika 

A Blessing that continues with Your Being

بَاقيةً بِبَقَائِكَ

bāqiyatan bibaqāʾika

And remains as long as You remain

 وَ عَلَى آلِهِ وَ أَصْحَابِهِ كَذَلِكَ

wa ʿalā ālihi wa aṣḥābihi kadhālik

And upon his Family & Companions as well

وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ

wal-ḥamdu lillāhi ʿalā dhālik

And all praise be for Allah for that!

NOTE:

Sayyiduna Shaykh Ahmad al-Tijani (RA) is narrated to have stated that whoever recites this Salat 10 times in the morning & the evening after the Fajr & Asr prayers, will attain the grand pleasure of Allah, be safe from Divine Wrath and be surrounded by Divine Mercy & Shelter. It is also stated that one recitation of this blessed Salat is equal to the recitation of 10,000 Salawat and that it is a sure cure for all difficulties.
