نَبيّ حسن لِتَوحيدِ الغَرامِ بِهِ

نَبيّ حسن لِتَوحيدِ الغَرامِ بِهِ

دَعا فَعوّذتهُ في آيةِ الكُرسي

دَعا فَعوّذتهُ في آيةِ الكُرسي

A prophet of beauty, for love to be devoted to him alone,

A prophet of beautiful monotheism

Called; so I invoked the Throne Verse to protect him.

I invoked protection for him in the Verse of the Throne

وَوَجههُ الشّمس في نِصفِ النّهارِ بَدت

وَوَجههُ الشّمس في نِصفِ النّهارِ بَدت

لا شَيءَ فيها كَما في الذِّهنِ وَالحسِّ

لا شَيءَ فيها كَما في الذِّهنِ وَالحسِّ

And his face is the sun appearing at midday;

The sun at midday showed his face

Nothing lies within it, in thought as in perception.

Nothing in it was like what’s in the mind or sense

أَبدى العِذارُ عَلى خَدَّيهِ مُعجِزَةً

أَبدى العِذارُ عَلى خَدَّيهِ مُعجِزَةً

فَأيّدتُ قَولَهُ المَقبولَ لِلنّفسِ

فَأيّدتُ قَولَهُ المَقبولَ لِلنّفسِ

The cheek-down revealed a miracle upon his cheeks;

He displayed clear proof on his cheeks

So I endorsed his statement, acceptable to the soul.

So I supported his words, acceptable to the soul

وَقالَ أَهلُ التّصابي إِن مُعجِزَتي

وَقالَ أَهلُ التّصابي إِن مُعجِزَتي

أَنْ أَطلَعَ اللَّهُ ربّي اللّيلَ في الشّمسِ

أَنْ أَطلَعَ اللَّهُ ربّي اللّيلَ في الشّمسِ

And the devotees of youthful dalliance said, “Indeed, my miracle

The sophists said, “My clear miracle

Is that God, my Lord, made night rise in the sun.”

Is that God, my Lord, showed the night in the sun.”
