1. أتيتُ إلى بابِكَ الأَمنَعِ

    ونِلْتُ قَبولاً ولم أُمْنَعِ

    I came to your most impregnable gate,

    And gained acceptance, nor was I turned away.

  2. ولكنْ سَنا شارِقاتِ الجَلا

    لِ أقامَ جَلالَكَ في بُرْقُعِ

    But the radiance of majesty’s dawning lights

    Has placed your majesty behind a veil.

  3. فبالصِّدْقِ يا سيِّدي والخُضو

    عِ تَكَرَّمْ وسِرَّ الجَلالِ ارْفَعِ

    So, by sincerity and humility, O my master,

    Be gracious, and unveil the secret of majesty.
