1. By my father and mother, he who came visiting me
In my time of need, a consoling friend

2. And allowed me to kiss a radiant face
I kissed a cheek among the brilliant beauties

3. And smelled a fragrance emanating from his robe
A delicate fragrance, pure musk, a scent so fresh

4. I became drunk with the nearness of my beloved
And in my joy remained bewildered

5. Time allowed a moment, had it been met
With life, none would buy it and lose

6. When I met with the most generous messenger
Who was an abundant sea of prophethood

7. I saw a face shining with beauty
A full moon surrounded by brilliance

8. He is the supported one, with the book, and if one
Turned from his faith, he would become disgraced and corrupt

9. The crown of existence, one who takes refuge in his door
Finds safety and attains manifest honor

10. The light of insight, one who holds fast
To his bridle attains steadfast glory

11. I implore you, succor of the weak, their treasure
Show me light in my heart abundant

12. And kindness, that hearts are softened by its water
So my longing for you becomes plentiful

13. Upon you, may God send peace, as long as souls
Revive at seeing you, tossed aside cares

14. And God's peace, as long as the morning breeze blows
At night, and the stars twinkle over Kadhimah

15. And upon all his companions and relations
The best of creations, both emigrants and helpers

16. As long as one stands firm in the religion of God
And the penitent remains patient with afflictions
