Assalamu alaikum,

I was fascinated to recently come across this - a 100 word eulogy for
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be with him), written by the
Hongwu Emperor, the founder of the Chinese Ming Dynasty, in the 14th
century CE / 8th century H.

Here is the translation (from Wikipedia)...

Since Creation of Universe
Heaven has already appointed,
Faith Preaching Giant Saint,
>From West He=92s Born,
To receive Holy Scripture,
With thirty part Book,
To guide all creations,
King of all Kings,
Leader of Holy Ones,
With Support from Divine,
To Protect His Nation,
With five daily prayers,
Silently hope for peace,
With heart toward Allah,
Empower the poor ones,
Save them from calamity,
See through the Unseen,
Pulling souls and spirits,
Away from all wrongdoings,
Mercy to the World,
Walking ancient Crowned Path,
Evil vanquished to One,
Religion Pure and True,
Muhammad,
The Noble High One.
