حيا الحيا الوسميُّ سكانَ النقى
ليت بهم تعود أيام اللقا
The beautiful life lived by the people of purity
If only the days of meeting would return through them
أيام كنا بالفنا وبالبقا
نهوى الوجود في الوجوه مطلقا
Days when through annihilation and subsistence
We yearned for existence in faces utterly
وكل أمر لم يزل محققا
يا سعد سلم لي على وادي سلم
And every matter has always been realized
O Saad, convey my greetings to the Valley of Peace
حيث ترى ناراً على رأس علم
دعوى وجودكم بها الغير ظلم
Where you see a fire atop a flag
Your existence's claim through it is injustice to others
لا عاش يوماً بالهنا ولا ارتقى
وكل أمر لم يزل محققا
Who neither lived serenely for a day nor ascended high
And every matter has always been realized
الله نور الأرض والسماء قل
والكل ظلمة عليهم قد ثقل
God is the light of earth and heaven, say
And all are darkness heavy upon them
إن قلت باطلٌ لكَ الحقُّ يَقُل
سعدتَ والذي ادعاه في شقا
If you say false, the right will diminish for you
You were felicitous while the one who claimed it was in misery
وكل أمر لم يزل محققا
عبد الغني أغناه مولاه الغني
And every matter has always been realized
Abdul Ghani, his Master, the Rich, enriched him
بفضله وزاده زادٌ هني
وبالصلاة والسلام يعتني
With His grace, and granted him ample livelihood
And attentive salat and greetings
على النبي المصطفى الذي رقى
وكل أمر لم يزل محققا
Upon the Chosen Prophet who ascended
And every matter has always been realized
