1. A lightning flash like a towering ladder
Illuminated the beloved's smiling lips

2. And whenever lightning flashed from his lips
Blood poured from my eyelids

3. Tears of longing rained down
For the pearl concealed in his gentle folds

4. O you who passion's kingdom claimed my heart
Calm my anxiety and the gazelle's fright

5. From every soft and delicate meadow
Where the morning breeze blows fragrant and sweet

6. A burning coal upon his cheek kindles
In my heart a flame that fiercely burns

7. In his soft eyes my cure, in his
Gentle laughter remedy for all hurts

8. The morning breeze tips it as it did
The branches of the swaying trees caress

9. Seeker of justice from love's oppressor
How could this be with his slender waist pressed?

10. In recollection are covenants of love
Mingling my tears with my blood's crimson stain

11. By my bold steed of lofty pedigree
Is every sadness turned to joy again

12. The tent poles creak and bend
Announcing the return of the shining moon's reign

13. Whose eloquent voice surpasses even
The clearest and most lucid speech of men

14. He prayed the required duty thus fulfilling
All his Lord and Maker asked of him

15. A precious jewel once lost
Now enhancing the Station of Ibrahim

16. For him Arafat's acquaintances rejoiced
When gathered in concord and by destiny convened

17. Through him from Mina ideals gained
That instilled awe in the revered Mash'ar

18. From Taibah the light of guidance shone
Banishing the darkness of ignorance and sin

19. What need has one who smelled that dust
To ever breathe musk's fragrance again?

20. A sanctuary whose earth enfolds
The cause of existence arising from nothingness

21. Al Mustafa the Guide, and his sons
Lamps of guidance, oceans of nobility

22. O you who with his arrival rejoiced
Prepare a feast for people with sweets galore

23. For through joy Banu Hashim's people
Became as one in welcome and greeting and more

24. Long absent, when once I was their spring
Today returns the spring of blessings once more

25. So remain forever blissful and glad
Where the morning breeze softly through gardens blows
