1. Turn the jar of secrets with melodies, O Saad
And sing for us, for time has been good for your happiness

2. And repeat in my hearing the conversations describing him
For in it is the healing of the heart, O Saad, O Saad

3. And be active, hum, O son of Waddi, humming
With the mention of the God of the throne, for He is our purpose

4. And leave the foolishness of passion lost in its folly
Evil, distance and expulsion revolve around it

5. For we see the excess of dissolution as a doctrine
And we sip the rose water of nearness, how good is this rose!

6. And it blooms when the singers sing her name
And we don't pasture away from it, even if we were shrouded

7. May God protect the times of youth, they
Soothed my innermost being, and the heart untouched by harm

8. Nights of intimacy in the dwellings of Zainab
And Layla and Su`da and passion has for it firewood

9. Strolling at ease in the shade of its tents
Freed, and the singers sing for her

10. On raised couches and carpets
And the morning breeze strides briskly in its plains

11. My watcher disappeared, and welcome were the gifts
And my beloved came, and beauty appeared to him

12. There we were delighted, and our souls eased
And we were absent from the universe when ecstasy drew near

13. Say to the blameworthy people, be gentle
With us - our way is sincerity and affection

14. Leave us and whom we love, and be content with your own hatred
For each has an opinion, and each has wisdom

15. Send blessings and greetings, my master, every moment
Upon the Chosen One as long as thunder has pealed

16. And his family and companions in their resolute determination
When the people of misguidance opposed him, they were guided

17. As long as the cosmos remains, his cupbearer will have a singer
Turn the jar of secrets with melodies, O Saad
