I see the soul enfolded at the thresholds of the lord of Najaf,
I see the spirit at the threshold of the one with curled lock
With a hidden ecstasy whose nature is manifest in love.
In esoteric passion which in love is evident

يقول لها لبي اتضعت تذللا
لماwhy الوجدecstasy والشوقand longing المبرحagonizing تسأليyou ask for

My heart says to her: 'You have humbled yourself in submission;
It says to it my heart has humbled in humility
Why do you ask for ecstasy and agonizing longing?'
For what fervor and diffused yearning you ask

She said: 'Yes, the east wind came from Najaf,
So it said yes, it came from Najaf, the zephyr
Then flew with the souls of the noble to Ali.'
It flew with the souls of the generous to Ali
