1. أَراني عَنكَ مَحدودُ

    وَكَوني فيكَ موجودُ

    I see myself held apart from You,

    and my being is found in You.

  2. وَفي عَرشِكَ لي فَرشٌ

    وَفَوقَ الفَرضِ تَوسيدُ

    And in Your Throne I have a bed,

    and above prescribed duty is pillowed rest.

  3. وَمَشهودِيَ مِن غَيبِ

    كَ يَومٌ بِكَ مَشهودُ

    And what I witness of Your unseen

    is a day witnessed through You.

  4. بِهِ الميزانُ مِن فَو

    قِ الصِراطِ إِلَيكَ مَمدودُ

    On it the Balance, from above

    the Path, is stretched out toward You.

  5. وَفيهِ الحَشرُ وَالنَشرُ

    وَحَوضُ الرَيِّ مَورودُ

    And in it are the Gathering and the Resurrection,

    and the thirst-quenching Pool is visited.

  6. وَمِن فَوقِ لِواءِ الحَمدِ

    بَينَ الناسِ مَعقودُ

    And from above, the Banner of Praise

    is fastened among the people.

  7. لِذا أَيّامي البيضُ

    لِيالي وَصلِكَ السودُ

    Thus my white days

    are the black nights of union with You.
