O Gentle One, O Gentle One, kindness is Yours!
You are the Kind and Gentle One, and from You kindness engulfs us

لَطِيفُ لَطِيفُ إِنَّنِي مُتَوَسِّلٌ

O Protector, O Protector, protection is Yours!
You are the Protector, and from You the protection engulfs us

By the rank of the leader of the Messengers: Muhammad
Were he not the source of the gentleness, then it would never have descended

عَلَيْهِ سَلَامُ اللهِ مَا قَالَ مُنْشِدٌ
  أَلَا يَا لَطِيفُ يَا لَطِيفُ لَكَ الْلُطْفُ

‘Alayhi salaammuLlaahi maa qaala munshidun
-Alaa yaa lateefu yaa lateefu lakal lutfu

Prayers of Allah upon him, for the amount of those who chant
O Gentle One! Gentle One! Gentleness is Yours!

The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing. - (Qur'an, 2:261)
