رفقا بصبك يا سويكنة النقا

وتعطفي وترفقي في الملتقى

Be gentle with your pouring, O clouds of generosity

And show kindness and gentleness in this gathering

وأبقى على رمقي بوصل عاجل

بل أقصري عمر الجفا فلك البقا

And keep me alive with an urgent connection

Rather, shorten the life of estrangement for you is eternity

أني وان لاح المشيب بلمتي

لي همة تسمو العالي المرتقى

Even though gray hair has appeared in my beard

I have an ambition that ascends the highest peaks

واذا المشيب أخلق على نضارتي

فالعزم مني لم يطق أن يخلقا

And if gray hair disfigures my youthfulness

My determination has not been able to be created

لي همة علويه

وفتوة صوفيه

I have a lofty ambition

And chivalrous mysticism

وعقيدة جزميه

اني وان كفّ السحاب فلم أكف

And unwavering doctrine

Even if the clouds have stopped pouring I have not stopped

لم وبل نيلي لم يزل مغدودقا

من غير مال بل يقينا جازما

My attainment has not ceased to be copious

With neither money nor assured, certain faith

بنوال ربي واثقا ومحققا

اني بنعمة رازقي متحدّثا

In my Lord's bestowal, confident and fulfilled

I speak with gratitude for the blessing of my Sustainer

بل شاكراً لنواله وعطائه

وأنا الفقير المحض من غير امترا

Rather, thanking Him for His bestowal and gifts

While I am utterly poor without any wealth

وهو الغني قد عمنا بغنائه

نحن العدم لولا اجادته لنا

And He is the Rich who has enriched us with His bounty

We are nothing without His creativity towards us

سبحانه في عزّه وبقائه

عرس بساحات الكريم وبابه

Glory to Him in His honor and eternity

Celebrate in the patios of the Bountiful, His door

فأبوابه لذوي الرجا لن تغلقا

لذ بالكريم المرتجا

His doors for the hopeful will never close

Take pleasure in the Bountiful, the Hoped

فاليه غايات الرجا

والمشتكى والملتجا

For in Him are the limits of hope

And the Complained to and Desired

فلقد أضرّتنا الذنوب وأظلمت

منا القلوب وفاز أرباب التقى

Our sins have certainly harmed us and darkened

Our hearts, and the people of piety have won

لم نخش بعد يقيننا في جوده

ومع اتباع نبيه أبدا شفا

After our certainty in His generosity, we have not feared

And in following His Prophet, never disappointed

ان لم يحلّ الخوف فيك لعدله

إياك أن تدع الرجاء لفضله

If fear has not befallen you because of His justice

Beware of abandoning hope because of His favor

فهما جناحان السلوك فاجتهد

فالبعض أولى من عدمك لكله

For they are two wings for the spiritual path so strive

For some is more worthy than your total nothingness

ان أنت أحكمت الرجا ومقامه

لم تخش من طول البعاد وذله

If you firmly establish hope and its station

You will not fear the duration of estrangement and humiliation

ان صحّ وعد فالوعيد سوافكن

بالوعد منه وبالوعيد مصدّقا

If the promise is true then the threats will spare you

Believe in His promise and believe in His threat

كن بالوعيد مصدّقا

وبالوعود محققا

Believe in His threat

And confirm His promises

قد يترك الربّ الكريم وعيده

فضلاً ولم يخلف لوعد موثقا

The Bounteous Lord may forgo His threat

By grace, and no confirmed promise has He broken

ثم الصلاة على النبيّ وآله

ما لاح برق بالضيا متألقا

Then blessings upon the Prophet and his progeny

For as long as lightning flashes in the skies, shining
