أُعطيتَ مِن نَفَحاتِ الحُسنِ أَسناها

أُعطيتَ مِن نَفَحاتِ الحُسنِ أَسناها

وَفُقتَ مِن نَفَحاتِ الطيبِ أَذكاها

وَفُقتَ مِن نَفَحاتِ الطيبِ أَذكاها

You were granted the most sublime of beauty’s breaths,

You were granted the most radiant of beauty's wafts.

And exalted by the most fragrant of perfume’s breaths.

And you surpassed the most fragrant of perfume's wafts.

فَالحُسنُ مُطَّرَحٌ وَالطيبُ مُفتَضَحٌ

فَالحُسنُ مُطَّرَحٌ وَالطيبُ مُفتَضَحٌ

وَالحورُ أَصبَحتَ بَعدَ اللَهِ مَولاها

وَالحورُ أَصبَحتَ بَعدَ اللَهِ مَولاها

Thus beauty lies discarded, and perfume stands shamed;

So beauty is cast aside, and perfume put to shame.

And as for the houris, you have become, after God, their lord.

And you have become, after God, the houris' master.

مَن كانَ لَم يَرَ شَمساً مِن سَنا بَشَرٍ

مَن كانَ لَم يَرَ شَمساً مِن سَنا بَشَرٍ

فَإِنَّنا بِعَلِيٍّ قَد رَأَيناها

فَإِنَّنا بِعَلِيٍّ قَد رَأَيناها

Whoever has never seen a sun born of a mortal’s radiance—

If anyone has never seen a sun of human radiance,

In Ali, we have surely seen it.

then we have indeed seen it in Ali.
