1. شرَّف ناسوتي بلاهوتِهِ

    من جل عن نعتي ومنعوتِهِ

    He ennobled my human nature with His divinity,

    He who transcends my description and what it describes.

  2. محجب خلف سجوف الورى

    صدى الفتى ينبيك عن صوته

    Veiled behind the curtains of creation,

    The young man's echo tells you of his voice.

  3. عنه به الأفكار مشغولة

    تحصيلها دل على فوته

    Thoughts are distracted from Him by Him;

    Their attainment points to His eluding them.

  4. وكل من قد مات في حبه

    أدرك ما يرجوه في موته

    And everyone who has died in His love

    Has attained what he hopes for in his death.
