1. يا قبر أيوب الذي نوره

    حل بقلبي ذروة الطور

    O grave of Ayyub, whose light

    Has settled in my heart—the summit of Mount Sinai.

  2. طب حضرة عطرية وابتهج

    بخير مرحوم ومبرور

    Be blessed as a fragrant sanctuary, and rejoice

    In the finest of those shown mercy and favor.

  3. اخي بك احتل مقام الرضا

    غريب حي غير مهجور

    My brother has taken up in you the station of contentment,

    A stranger, alive and not forsaken,

  4. ضيف رفاعي الحمى جده

    بمشهد بالنور معمور

    A guest whose forefather is the Rifāʿī of the sanctuary,

    In a shrine filled with light.

  5. يا غائبا عني ولكنه

    بمقلة القلب أي منظور

    O you absent from me, yet

    So clearly beheld in the heart’s eye!

  6. غيبت عن عيني وطول المدى

    عن عين قلبي فغير مستور

    You have been hidden from my eye, yet through all time

    You remain unveiled to the eye of my heart.

  7. بكتك عين انت انسانها

    والعين قد تبكي على النور

    An eye has wept for you—you are its pupil;

    And the eye may weep for the light.
