1. قمر الغيب بدا في الظلمات

    فحضرنا منه كل الحضرات

    The moon of the Unseen appeared amid the darkness.

    So through it we entered all the Presences.

  2. وانقضى الموت به والسكرات

    وفنينا في بقاء اللمحات

    And through it death and its agonies ceased.

    And we vanished into the permanence of glimpses.

  3. يا شخوصاً كسراب ظهرت

    لغرور العقل حتى بهرت

    O forms, you appeared like a mirage,

    To beguile the mind, until you dazzled it.

  4. طلعة الحق علينا اشتهرت

    وعجيب كيف تبقى الغفلات

    The countenance of the Real became manifest to us.

    And how strange that heedlessness should remain!

  5. أيها الظاهر بي خلف حجاب

    كل من يدعوك بالأسما يجاب

    O You who appear through me behind a veil,

    Everyone who calls You by the Names is answered.

  6. أمرك الحق هو الأمر العجاب

    وهو كالبرق ونحن اللمعات

    Your true command is the wondrous command.

    And it is like lightning, and we are the flashes.

  7. هذه روحي وهذا جسدي

    ليس شيء منهما طوع يدي

    This is my spirit, and this is my body.

    Neither of them is at my hand's command.

  8. وهما عندك يا ذا المدد

    من قبيل الظل تحت الشجرات

    And before You, O Lord of succor, they both are

    Like the shadow beneath the trees.

  9. وعلى طه صلاتي والسلام

    وجميع الآل والصحب الكرام

    And upon Taha be my blessings and peace,

    And upon all his noble family and companions,

  10. ما رأى عبد الغني نور المقام

    فتلاشى في رفيع الدرجات

    As long as Abd al-Ghani beholds the station's light,

    And so dissolves amid the loftiest ranks.
