I Am Slave To His Slave...

Qadi Yusuf an-Nabhani (rahimahullah) says in his magnificent poem Sa'adat ad-Darayn praising the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam:

'ana `abdun li sayyid al-anbiya'i wa wala'i lahu al-qadimu wala'i,
ana `abdun li `abdihi wa li `abd al-`abdi `abdun kadha bi ghayri intiha'i'

I am the slave of the Master of Prophets And my fealty to him has no beginning,
I am slave to his slave, and to his slave's slave, And so forth endlessly!'
