1. The beloved trod upon the sunbeam when he walked
While others walked upon the ground's obscurity
١. داسَ الحَبيبُ شُعاعَ الشّمسِ حينَ مَشى
وَغَيرهُ كانَ يَمشي فَوقَ دَيجورِ
2. And from them the sun hid its rays
So that none could see what he trod but that which shone
٢. وَعَنهُمُ الشّمس قَد أَخفَت أَشِعّتها
فَغَير ما داسَ مِنهُ غير مَنظورِ
3. So I said: God - the sun's light was spread out
As an honor to love, a carpet of light
٣. فَقُلت للَّه درُّ الشّمس قَد فُرشت
للحِبِّ مَكرمةً بُسْطاً مِنَ النّورِ
