1. The beloved passed by lightning's flash
Offering you sweet life's drink

2. And courted your garden, so gentle the breeze
Exuding fragrance for one who inhales

3. And the cooing of the dove's fluttering wings
Branches adorned with shining leaves

4. Night birds recount tales of love
Truthfully from the melodious singer

5. Yes, and may God protect the bestowers of bounty
Previous era of beautiful love

6. For its days were most pleasant
And its times most delightful, had they but remained

7. It decreed love for us, then departed
Leaving fiery embers of passion

8. Nights wherein we hoped for union
But only tasted separation's springs

9. And fortune neglected to watch over us
So we feared no eyes, and took no heed

10. Is it not true that hearts should meet
While we in yearning cannot meet?

11. O fortune, repeat the words of the beloved
For one enchained by love's shackles

12. And revive my heart by praising the counselor
That it may be sated by his refreshing chains

13. The gardens are fragrant with his virtues
With his scent, though lacking it they would not be fragrant

14. Without his guidance their horizons
By the sun of direction would not have shone

15. He is help and rain in my days of destitution
The existence of the noble and provider

16. O Father Hasan, pride of guidance
Thus he reached the peak of ascendance

17. Shall a people hope for precedents
When will he race in a race he precedes?
