1. أَمَلِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا تَأَتِّي خَلْوَةٍ

    فِي مَنْزلٍ بَادٍ خَصِيبِ الْجَانِبِ

    My hope in this world is to attain seclusion

    In a country dwelling with fertile surroundings,

  2. أُذْكِي بِهِ زَنْدَ الْقِرَاءَةِ وَالْقِرَى

    رَحْبُ الْجنَابِ لِطَارقٍ أَوْ طَالِبِ

    Where I kindle the firestick of reading and hospitality,

    Ample in welcome to a night visitor or a seeker,

  3. حَتَّى أَلاَقي اللهَ لَمْ تَصْرِفْنِي ال

    أَوْهَامُ عَنْهُ بِشَاغِلٍ أَوْ شَاغِبٍ

    Until I meet God, never turned aside

    From Him by fancies through distraction or disturbance.
