كَبد أَطالَ بِنارِهِ ايقادِه

كَبد أَطالَ بِنارِهِ ايقادِه

اِبدا أَراهُ مَعَ الرِضا مُنقاده

اِبدا أَراهُ مَعَ الرِضا مُنقاده

A liver whose burning he prolonged with his fire;

My liver prolongs with its kindling, its flames

I always see it contentedly submissive to him.

Forever I see it, following pleasure, obedient

عُنقي بِاِغلال الهَوى لَو قادَه

عُنقي بِاِغلال الهَوى لَو قادَه

لَرَأَيت اِنَّ الفَضلَ مِنهُ عَميم

لَرَأَيت اِنَّ الفَضلَ مِنهُ عَميم

If he led my neck with the fetters of love,

If the fetters of passion pulled my neck where they lead

I would see that his bounty is all-embracing.

You'd see that his grace is perfect, complete
