1. O Hussein open your heart to me and illuminate my chest with light
Seize your moment and beware not to be unprepared

2. Seize, seize before you become buried
None is our deity except the one who is remembered or mentioned

3. Who remembers God with every breath, the seer and the seen
Everything other than the Master is false and scattered

4. Nothing brings one near Him except seeking, for the seeker is rewarded
And pray for me, O Hussein, for I am neglectful and deceived

5. I am, my brother, filled with sin and falsehood
Pray for me, O Hussein, that my heart becomes filled

6. With guidance, piety and light, overwhelmed and filled
His every thought is of good, halted and confined

7. Joyous, fulfilled with God, proper and delighted
In him there is no room for others, not for maidens or paradise

8. We seek God whose bounty has no limit
O Hearer of supplications, bless Your confined servant

9. With short reach, clipped wings, and broken
Lord, my strategies have failed, my life passed as I wandered

10. In matters whose doer I see is unthanked
So look upon my state as it becomes repaired and compelled

11. And evil dispersed and sins erased and forgiven
And the good conclusion upon my transition from this abode

12. And blessings upon the one mentioned in the Star and Mount
The interceding Prophet when the trumpet is blown
