1. A dove sang atop the branches
Reminding me of our meeting, o dove

2. While my eyes were sleepless, foregoing sleep
And my tears flowed like the rainclouds

3. My soul is sincerely devoted to the Beloved
So I swear I shall not blame him

4. May God protect him, so radiant
Who mixed wine into his saliva

5. The beloved who protected
His scorpion protected what he ought to

6. And my essence was filled with grief
And he took pride publicly in blood

7. Loyal to pacts and to turbans
A lover whom no rebuker rebukes

8. Nor can anyone restrain his bridle
Oh heart, do not rush and be patient

9. For patience in calamities is praiseworthy
And put your trust in God of great grace

10. For all creations are His servants
He is the Sultan without peer

11. Who shares with none what He wills or wants
So many of the sick became healthy

12. By His power and professed wellbeing
My intercessor Ahmad - would that my soul be his ransom!

13. I have no hand with him
He is perfect in generosity

14. A generous one sponsored by the Generous
And intercession was shone unto him on the Day of Judgement

15. So all messengers hasten beneath his banner
In what lofty honor!
