ما حسن يعشق غير حسن لبنا

ما مثلها محبوب

No beauty is loved but the beauty of Lubbana

She has no equal beloved

ولا جمال يذكر بكلّ معنى

إلا لها منسوب

Nor any charm worth mentioning

Except what is ascribed to her

لولا بهاها ما خلق لحسنا

حسن ولا موهوب

If it were not for her allure no beauty would have been created

Neither charm nor gift

من أراد أن يحيا بها فيفنى

في عشقها المرغوب

Whoever wants to live by her must perish

In the love for her that is sought

أموات ما فيهم سواي حيا

من إنسها والجان

The dead have no life in them

Except for my life in her, human or jinn

واللَه لولا الشرع قلت هيا

واندكت الأكوان

By God, were it not for religious law I would have said: come

And the universe would have collapsed

وأسطو على ما كان يكون ميا

وكان لي ما كان

And I would have prevailed over what was and what will be

And mine would have been what was

أنا المهنا به ولا منانا

غالب ولا مغلوب

I am the passionate lover of her and not the benefactor

Victor nor vanquished

لو يعلم العذال ما معانا

لقصروا في اللوم

If the critic only knew what we have

They would be brief in blame

ان الذي قد صار في وعانا

ذخراً لذاك اليوم

For that which has happened to us

Is provision for that day

شفاعتي في الحشر لا تعانا

وأنا بها القيدوم

My intercession at the Gathering will avail us

And through her I will be the eternal

وجدّنا المختار في قبلنا

فما بقي مطلوب

We found the Chosen One to be before us

So nothing else is wanted
