لباسي لباس المتيقن وإنني

1. My garment is the garment of the certain, though I
Am bare of piety when I am clad.

١. لباسي لباسُ المتيقن وإنني

٢. دعاني منادي الحقِّ من بين أضلعي

٣. ولما رأى ترك الإجابة لم يقم

My heart would have answered his voice when he called me.

٤. ولو غير داعي الحقِّ نادى من الحشى
أجاب فؤادي صوته إذ دعانيا
