Praise of al-Busiri’s poem and the shirk (associating partners with Allah) contained in it

Question:
He says: I heard a person praising al-Busiri’s poem and saying that it contains no shirk (associating partners with Allah). What is your guidance?

Answer:
This is a known matter. Many people recite it on the days of the Mawlid more than they recite the Qur'an, and they seek nearness to Allah through it. As for saying that it contains no shirk, that is a denial of reality. In fact, it contains explicit shirk. It says: "O most noble of creation, who is there to whom I take refuge other than You?" Meaning, to whom does one take refuge? One does not take refuge in Allah; rather, one takes refuge in the Messenger on the Day of Resurrection. "Who is there to whom I complain other than You when the general calamity befalls?"
I seek refuge in Allah, Mighty and Majestic. What happens with the created beings? I seek refuge in Allah. It is worship. If it were not for the last verse on the Day of Resurrection, "taking me by the hand," or rather, "O slip of the foot," meaning he forgot Allah, Mighty and Majestic, on the Day of Resurrection. "From Your generosity, the world and its sister," meaning the world and the Hereafter are from the generosity of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). As for Allah, He has no part in this.
And from Your knowledge is the knowledge of the Preserved Tablet and the Pen, the Preserved Tablet and the Pen with which Allah wrote the decrees. He says this is from the knowledge of the Messenger. He says this is part of the knowledge of the Messenger. So where is Allah? Allah is not mentioned in this. We ask Allah for well-being. Is there any excess beyond this? Is there any shirk beyond this? If this is not shirk, then what is shirk?
Yes. The fact that some people are pleased with it is not strange. Many people desire falsehood. Many people, , , yes.
