يا من نَصيِبي منه قر

يا من نَصيِبي منه قر

بٌ مثلُ سرعةِ عِيسِهِ

بٌ مثلُ سرعةِ عِيسِهِ

O you, my share from whom is near-

O you whose nearness to me is like

ness like the swiftness of his white camels.

The speed of Jesus in his swiftness

أَسقمْتَني فخَفيتُ عن

أَسقمْتَني فخَفيتُ عن

نظرِ البصيرِ ولَمْسه

نظرِ البصيرِ ولَمْسه

You made me ill, so I became hidden from

You made me sick, so I hid from

The keen-sighted one's gaze and his touch.

The sight of the wise and his touch

ورجعتُ جزأً دَقَّ عن

ورجعتُ جزأً دَقَّ عن

وهم الذَّكي وحَدْسِه

وهم الذَّكي وحَدْسِه

And I became a particle too fine for

And I withdrew, subtle beyond

The intelligent one's imagination and his intuition.

The imagination of the bright and his intuition

ولَطُفتُ حتى أنني

ولَطُفتُ حتى أنني

عَرَضٌ يقوم بنفسه

عَرَضٌ يقوم بنفسه

And I grew so subtle that I am

And I became so gentle that I

An accident subsisting by itself.

Am an object that stands by itself
