1. O friend of my heart that is not happy nor well
Since parting from the meadows of loved ones

2. To settle between the desert and strangers
And being far from families and friends

3. May Allah remember the times of union, o friend
When we were in joy and celebration

4. Drinking from cups of bliss and spirits
Without fear of adversity or troubles

5. O Saad, lead my caravan towards the abode of my love
For longing has severed the strings of my heart

6. The burning fire of my distress is not cooled
Except by my descending among those slopes

7. O Allah, protect me from the harshness of the loved ones
It is a calamity beyond calamities

8. Do you see our drinks becoming pure
After long separation and estrangement?

9. I hope, O God of bounty and grace
To open upon me a heart of beautiful states

10. With what He granted its strings and the devoted
And its temptations, individuals and the best

11. They are the people I desire
And seek among all worshipers

12. And their love has settled in my heart
The people of knowledge, loyalty and manners

13. The sincere, the truthful, the righteous
The good, the pure, the virtuous

14. The knowing, the tasting, the free
All are reverent and dutiful

15. O Allah, a seed of the love of God
With which I am distracted from all but Allah

16. And I do not consider after it other than Allah
The One, the Worshipped, the path of lords

17. So I do not hope today relief from hardship
Except that the drink of love becomes pure for me

18. And I attain the pleasure and nearness of my Lord
In which all means are severed

19. Upon the carpet of knowledge and worship
And the unseen became to me like the witnessed

20. This is for me the epitome of happiness
Glory to my Lord, whoever hopes in Him will not be deprived

21. O seeker of truth, stand up and take initiative
And rise with determination and resolve

22. And be patient in suppressing desires and be patient
And be truthful and do not leave sitting at the door

23. And know that all good is contained
In following the intercessor prophet

24. May Allah bless him as long as the streams flow
From the valleys when the floods poured
