1. يا رَوْضَةَ الرِّضْوَانِ والنَّفَحَاتِ

    ومحلَّةَ الرَّحَمات والحُرُماتِ

    O garden of divine favor and fragrant breezes,

    and abode of mercies and sanctities,

  2. شَوقي إلى مَرْآكِ شَقَّ جوانحي

    فشقِيتُ بين تَصَعُّدِ الزّفَرَاتِ

    My longing to behold you has rent my breast,

    so I suffered amid rising sighs,

  3. حتَى ظللتُ من الصّبابة عِبْرَةً

    لأولي البصائرِ سائِلَ العبراتِ

    until, through ardent longing, I became a lesson

    for those with insight, streaming with tears.

  4. يَا مَنْزِلَ التنزيل هل أنا نَازِلٌ

    بك مَنْزِلاً يَشْفي من الحسرات

    O abode of revelation, shall I take lodging

    within you—a stay that heals sorrow—

  5. وأُرَى لِقُرْبِكِ لاثما ومُقَبّلاً

    ومُعَفِّرَ الوجنات في الجنّات

    and be seen near you, kissing and bestowing kisses,

    and rubbing my cheeks in dust amid the gardens,

  6. وَمُرَدِّداً ما بين دُورِك ناظري

    في ناضر العَرَصات والحُجُرَات

    and turning my gaze back and forth among your dwellings,

    upon the radiant beauty of the courtyards and chambers?

  7. وجميل ظنّي في قطينكِ قاطنٌ

    عارٍ من الأَوْهام والشُّبُهات

    And my good hope in your dweller abides,

    free of illusions and doubts.

  8. يا مصطفى يَا خَيْرَ من وَطِئَ الثّرى

    يا بَاهِيَ الحركات والسَّكَنَاتِ

    O Mustafa, O best of those who trod the earth,

    O splendid in movement and stillness,

  9. وَحَيَاتِكَ العُظْمى لأَنْتَ مَؤَمّلي

    يَا مَلْجَئِي في مِيتتي وحياتي

    By your exalted life, you are indeed my hope,

    O my refuge in my death and my life.

  10. وصلاةُ ربّك والخلائقِ كلِّهِمْ

    تغشاك في الخطَرَاتِ واللَّحَظات

    And may the blessings of your Lord and of all creation

    enfold you in every passing thought and every moment.
