1. O you whose ardour was cooled by his aloofness
Whose tears then flowed in longing for reunion

2. The fire of separation, once ignited in his heart
Has set ablaze all that lies within his ribs

3. However much he tries to forget love, remind him of it
With a flash that stirs in him a painful yearning

4. Passion almost led him astray, had he not
Returned to praising the best of all creation

5. The finest of all creation, better than any who tread earth
His roots exalted, branches spread through his lineage

6. In him the servant finds refuge, when facing terror
No matter what horrors make him tremble in fear

7. Blessings upon him, Allah, His majesty sublime
From first star's rising to the sun's ascent
