قصدت جلال اللّه جل جلاله

وقصد الجليل الحق مجدي وعزتي

I sought the Majesty of Glorious God,

And sought the Magnificence of the True Truth, my glory and might.

شهدت جلال اللّه حيث صفاتُه

فابهتني مستغرقاً لبصيرتي

I witnessed the Majesty of God in His attributes,

So I was dazzled, immersed in my inner sight.

ولما تجلت لي نعوت جلاله

تصاعدت من نفسي إلى العدمية

And when the attributes of His Majesty were revealed to me,

There rose from my soul unto nothingness.

تجلت على نعتي نعوت جلاله

كما أنه منها نعوتي تجلت

His attributes of Majesty were revealed upon my attributes,

Just as my attributes from His attributes were revealed.

تعرضت الأفياء فانتسخت به

ولم يبق إلا نور قدس ووحدة

The imperfections appeared, so I discarded them,

And only the light of holiness and oneness remained.

جلال قديم لا يناسب رتبة

وليست تضاهيه جلالة رتبة

Ancient Majesty unsuited for any rank,

No majesty compares to His rank.

جلال تذل الكائنات لعزّه

وأعظم عز تحته محض ذلة

A Majesty that humiliates all creatures by His might,

And the greatest might under it is utter humiliation.

الهي جليل الشأن أين مدارجي

وذكري وفكري في الصفات الجليلة

O my Glorious Lord, where are my steps,

And my remembrance and thoughts in the Majestic attributes?

نهاية ما آتى به حَمدُ حائرٍ

ولهجة مضطر واجلال دهشهِ

This is the end of what praising Hamd has brought,

The utterance of one compelled, whose awe overwhelmed him.

الهي ألبسني جلالاً يليق بي

جلالاً يرقيني إلى كل حضرة

O my God, clothe me in a Majesty befitting me,

A Majesty that elevates me to every court.

به أرتقي يا ذا الجلال وأنتهي

إلى موقف أنهى رجال المحبة

By it I ascend, O Majestic One, and arrive

At a station where the lovers have concluded.
