The drawing of the one I love has become erased

عفا رسم من أهوى وليس سوانا

1. The drawing of the one I love has become erased
And we were for it a place of descent

١. عفا رسمُ من أهوى وليس سوانا
وكنا له عند النزولِ مكانا

2. The earth and sky have become too narrow for it
And with the most ample spaciousness, it has endowed us

٢. لقد ضاق عنه أرضه وسماؤه
وبالسَّعة المثلى لديه حبانا

3. And none has encompassed the Beneficent except our existence
As if we were pillars upon the Mighty Throne

٣. وما وسعَ الرحمنَ إلا وجودنا
كأنا على العرشِ العظيم بنانا

4. And when the Truth, Majestic is His Majesty, encompassed us
He blessed us with knowledge of Him and vision

٤. ولما وسعنا الحقّ جل جلالُه
نعمنا به علما به وعِيانا

5. And we have not taken other than the All-Dominating as a dweller
Nor has He taken a house that would rival us

٥. ولم نتخذ غير المهيمن ساكنا
ولم يتخذ بيتا يكون سوانا

6. Indeed my Lord has been generous to me with every virtue
And given me amplitude and elucidation from Him

٦. لقد جاد لي ربي بكل فضيلةٍ
وآتانِ منه بسطةً وبيانا

7. When we came to Him in every state
With the weakness by which we came to Him

٧. إذا نحن جئناه على كلِّ حالة
بضعف الذي جئنا إليه أتانا

8. When we praised Him through our essence
And your witnessing was safety for us

٨. إذا نحن أثنينا عليه بذاتنا
وكان لنا منك الشهود أمانا

9. In everything we have said regarding You and infallibility
No eye in existence sees us

٩. على كلِّ ما قلناه فيك وعصمةٌ
فما ثم عينٌ في الوجود ترانا
