How long my running is,

كم لي نجري

1. How long my running is,
And my running was to my beloved,

١. كم لِي نَجْرِي
وكانَ جَرْيي لِعِنْدِي

2. A resolved matter,
And the secret of my secret and my love.

٢. أمْرٌ ثابتْ
وَسِرُّ سِرِّي وَجْدِي

3. So whoever comes wanting
To understand its ways,

٣. فَمَن جَا يَرُومْ
تَبِنْ لُو رُسومْ

4. And get a little bit of my purpose,
By it the fates of people are written.

٤. ويَتْحَصَّلْ على رَشْحٍ قليلْ مِنْ مرادي
وبِهْ تُكْتَب تراجيمُ العبادْ

5. Everyone is standing still,
By God, he does not come out with his tricks,

٥. كُلّ واقفْ
لسْ واللهِ يبرُزْ بِحِيلَهْ

6. Do not be fooled,
Ignorant of its first wick,

٦. لاِحْتِبَاسُوا
جَهْلاً بأوَّلْ فتِيلَهْ

7. And if it remains ablaze,
And cuts off passages,

٧. وَلَوْ يَبْقَى سارِي
ويَقْطَعْ براري

8. It says what is behind the shelter,
Revolving in my belief,

٨. يَقُلْ ما وَرَادَ وَارِي
دَوَارْ في اعتقادي

9. And that state is the state of every manifest one.
Every knower knows,

٩. وذاكَ المُقام مقام كلِّ بادِي
كُلِّ عارفْ يَعْرِفْ

10. That he is no reaches,
And is not content with whatever he found,

١٠. بأنْ لَسْ هُ وَاصِلْ
ولا يَقنعْ بأشْ ما وَجَدْ

11. By him realized,
And crosses his mind to narrate,

١١. عِنْدُو حاصلْ
وَيخْطُرْ لُو يُحْكي

12. With his imaginary desire,
Like Layla's madman in every valley,

١٢. بِوَهْمُوا المَكِّي
كمجنون لَيْلَى عَلَى كُلِّ وادِي

13. Crying and weeping the pain of distance,
If you could see me complete,

١٣. ينوحُ وَيبْكي ألَمَ الْبِعَادِ
لو تَرَانِي نَتِهْ

14. When he took me gently,
Dying from him,

١٤. عَلَيَّا ونزهو
حِينْ أَخَذْنِي بالامْتِنَانْ

15. And he did not neglect me,
While I sing him,

١٥. مُتُّ مِنْوُا
وَلاَ طَفَنِي عِنيَّ

16. I witness his manifestation in my secret, my purpose,
And I delight in my nearness to him in the heart.

١٦. وَانَا بِهْ نُغَنِّي
أُشَاهِدْ مِنْهُ في سِرِّي التَّجَلِّي مُرَادِي
