1. A caller called for the light, so I magnified
My eyelids and my thoughts prayed to the call

2. And I melted my heart in a nectar of brilliance
And I scented from the dawn of eternity my temples

3. And I burned in its strings all that my soul
Sanctified with the fire of the incense of spiritual prayer

4. Glorifications of those who prayed and longings of those who implored
And melted in his palms the tear of intimacies

5. I drew the fragrance of purity from every prostrator
And from every devout and from every invoker

6. And from every bird that passed by eternity with its flute song
And listened to the whispers of the houris amidst the meads

7. And from every dawn whose heart spoke to God
With verses of light from the overwhelming hand of God

8. And from every chanter to the echo from one reciting
His Mus'haf, the prayer of the sacred places rang

9. And from prayers I saw for the palm tree
Humming the sanctity of the rituals to the lights

10. Rejoicing in listening, repenting at dawn
Like one asking God for forgiveness, gazing

11. And in her face a Sufi, if she spoke
It would be the talk of purity in every thought

12. I mustered the fragrance of the pious and their purity
And ignited it the pleasure of dawn with my braziers

13. And I changed my flute from a melodious chant
To the tunes of humble lights of flowerbeds

14. To sing a land God honored her face
With a face whose freshness scents its history

15. With a sword God purified, justice and wisdom
With which Islam split the heart of the strongholds

16. And terrified the night of the unbelievers with its flashes
So every obstinate fell to the religion of God

17. The lines of world shone with the light of Muhammad
And from his light the totality of beacons stirred

18. Oh Kufa of glories, a oneness greeted you
At its dawn, all strings turned to it

19. And the sun returned to it, its light shining
As it was in those magnificent ages
