قلت يا بيضَةَ الفلكْ

قلت يا بيضَةَ الفلكْ

هذه النفسُ هيتَ لكْ

هذه النفسُ هيتَ لكْ

I said: O Egg of the Firmament,

I said: O egg of the celestial sphere!

this soul has been made ready for you.

This soul is ready for you.

أنا عرشٌ مهيأ

أنا عرشٌ مهيأ

فاستو أيها الملك

فاستو أيها الملك

I am a throne, made ready—

I am a throne made ready,

so settle upon it, O king.

So take your seat, O king.

أنت بدر مكملٌ

أنت بدر مكملٌ

وأنا دورةُ الفلك

وأنا دورةُ الفلك

You are a full moon, perfected,

You are a perfected full moon,

and I am the turning of the firmament.

And I am the celestial sphere's revolution.

إن أتى الفرعُ من هنا

إن أتى الفرعُ من هنا

جاءه من هنا الملك

جاءه من هنا الملك

If the branch came from here,

If the branch comes from here,

the king came to it from here.

The king comes to it from here.

عشتَ في برزخِ المنى

عشتَ في برزخِ المنى

كلّ ما شئت قيل لك

كلّ ما شئت قيل لك

You lived in the barzakh of wishes;

You lived in the isthmus of wishes;

whatever you wished was said to you.

Whatever you wished was said to you.
