تَجَلّى لَكَ الإِملاكُ عَمّا تُحِبُّهُ

فَإِنَّكَ قَد فَصَّلتَ بِالتِبرِ جَوهَرا

Immortality has been revealed to you from what you love

For you have elucidated essence with alchemy

فَصَيَّرتَهُ لِلدَهرِ عَقداً مُفَصَّلاً

وَطَيَّرتَهُ في الأُفقِ نَشراً مُعَطَّرا

And made it for eternity a detailed necklace

And released it perfumed in the horizon

هُوَ اليُمنُ لَم يُعدِمكَ مَحبوبَةً دَنَت

وَمَكروهَةً شَطَّت وَصَعباً تَيَسَّرا

It is the blessing that did not deprive you of a beloved who approached

Or an enemy who receded or a hardship that eased
