1. With my remembrance of You, O Allah, I hope for grace
For Your servant, remembrance from You in the abode of sublimity

2. And Your promise, my Lord, in "Remember Me and I will remember you" is fulfilled
With Your word "Remember Me and I will remember you," a revealed scripture

3. And Your promise is true, carried out, not unfulfilled
For the one remembering You, the Remembered, in Your presence on high

4. My God, for the light of Truth, illuminate my inner sight
With kohl of remembrance from the darkness of heedlessness

5. My God, make it for my heart a protection
That I may be safe from seeing evil, for it is ruin

6. My God, through it remove the echo of caprice so my heart can see
The epiphany of the beauty of the Face reflected within

7. And it may witness the secret of Your being, my Master
Manifest, though transcendent - indeed, exalted above that

8. My God, by the people of remembrance in the assemblage wherein
In Your proximate presence the veil of caprice is lifted

9. My God, by what they tasted of the drink which
Is the purest spring, its source but grace

10. Give me to drink the draught of remembrance in the presence of purity
In a cup sealed first with felicity
