وَجد تحرك في قَلبي فَما سكنا

فَقَدا لمن بنواحي مكة سكنا

A movement stirred in my heart, so it would not settle

For those who settled in the outskirts of Mecca

أحبة هم مني قَلبي وهم أَملي

وَهم علاقة نَفسي اذنأوا وطنا

They are my heart's beloved, my hope

They are my soul's bond, so they settled and homed

علقت في الركب آمالي غداة غدوا

كأن في الركب روحا فارق البدنا

I attached my hopes to the caravan the next morning they marched

As if a soul had parted from the body in the caravan

أَجرى دموعي فرادى بعدهم وَثنى

وماثنى العذل عطف الصبر حين ثَنى

My tears flowed individually after they left, and not once

Did the patience's compassion bend when it inclined

أودّ طيف خيال لَو يَزور وَهَل

يَستَعطف الطيف طرف حارب الوسنا

I wish an imagination's specter would visit, perhaps

The specter would beseech the glance that battled weariness

كَم قلت واخرنا للقلب بعدهم

وَلَيسَ يَنفَعني أَن قلت واخرنا

How much have I said farewell, my heart, after they left

And it does not benefit me to have said farewell

أَحباب قَلبي عَسى من نحوكم خبر

لِهائم يندب الاطلال وَالدمنا

My heart's loved ones, may news come from your side

To the yearner who laments the ruins and edifices

وَهَل يعيد عَلى الدهر قربكم

بعد النَوى فنوا كَم زادَني شجنا

Will time restore your nearness after determination?

After intentions perished, how much did it increase my suffering?

غني غني عَن جَميع الكون غيركم

وَلَيسَ لي عَنكم يا مالكي غني

I am needless of the whole universe except you

And I have no independence from you, my masters

قلوب اِمتزجت بالود ما بلغت

وان بعدتم فَمَعنى سركم مَعنا

Hearts blended with affection before we reached

And if you are far, your secret is still with us

أَنتم أَنا وأَنا أَنتم وَلا عجب

أن كنتم أَنتم وأَنتم في الوجود أَنا

You are me and I am you, no wonder

That you are you, and in existence, you are me

روحي هنا بعد أَرواح هناك وأَر

واح هناك هي الروح المُقيم هنا

My soul is here after souls are there, and souls

There are the soul residing here

أحبكم وأحب الدار آنسة

منكم واسأل عنكم من نأى ودنا

I love you and love the place familiar

From you, and I ask about you from those who parted from us

فَلَيتَ شعري هَل في الدار متسع

حَتّى تَعود اللَيالي الذاهبات لنا

I wonder, is there room enough in the house

That the passing nights would return to us?

أَم تَرحَمون أَحبابي جوى كبد

كادَت تَذوب اليكم لوعة وضنى

Or would you pity, my loved ones, a liver

That almost melted in yearning and pining for you

فَوالَّذي حجت الركبان كعبته

وَما حواه المصلى وَالنقا ومني

By the One whose pilgrims circumambulated His House

And what the prayer area, minbar and Mina contained

ما حلت في الحب عَن حال الوداد لكم

وَلا خلعت لماضي حبكم رسنا

I did not change from the state of affection for you

Nor took off the love of your past, our foundation

باخائضا غمرات الشوق متخذا

حسن التوكل زادا وَالرضا سفنا

Sailing the seas of longing, taking as provision

Good reliance and contentment as ships

دَع المَقادير تَجري وارض ما فعلت

واكتم هواك وَلا تستعتب الزمنا

Let the decrees run their course, and accept what was done

And conceal your love, and do not blame time

ان الفَضائل في الاخطار مودعة

فاِبغ الفَضائل واجعل روحك الثمنا

For merits lie deposited in dangers

So seek merits and make your soul the price

وان أَراد الهَوى منك الهوان فقل

حكم المَنيَّة في حب الحَبيب منى

And if passion wants disgrace from you, say:

"Death's rule in loving the beloved is my purpose"

وَالراح يَستَلب الارواح عندهم

حيث الحضور مغيب وَالبَقاء فنا

And the soul-taker takes souls in their presence

Where attendance is absent, and remaining is perishing

فاحفظ هَواهم وَمت في حبهم كمدا

ان كنت حرا عَلى الاسرار مؤتمنا

So preserve their love, and die in love of them as

A trustee over secrets, trustworthy

فالكَون مسترق منهم محاسنه

وَالدين يَلبس منهم بهجة وَسنا

For the universe stealthily derives its beauties from them

And religion wears joy and brilliance from them

أَرائح الشام بلغ سيدي عمرا

تحية من محب يسكن اليمنا

Fragrant breezes of Damascus, convey to my master Umar

Greetings from a lover residing in Yemen

والثم يَمين امام ماجد علم

أَحيا الهدى وَالنَدى وَالفرض وَالسننا

And praise to the Imam Ma'jid Ali's knowledge

He gave life to guidance, clarity, duty and traditions

مبارك الوجه نَستَكفي الخطوب به

وَنَستقي بدعاه العارض الهتنا

Blessed is the face we suffice with tribulations for it

And by his prayer we seek relief from our concerns

مَولاي أَنتَ مُرادي حيث كنت وَكَم

وَشي الوشاة وَقالوا عابد وَثنا

My master, you are whom I want wherever you are, and how much

Did the slanderers prattle and say, "He worships an idol"?

لا أَشكر الدهر يَهدي ظل أَنعمه

إِليّ مالم يريني وَجهك الحسنا

I do not thank time for shading me with its blessings

Unless it shows me your beautiful face

فاذكر أَبا القاسم الخاظى عبيدك في

تلك المَساكن كم من خائف أمنا

So mention Abu Al-Qasim Al-Khati among your servants in

Those dwellings - how many fearful ones we secured

وَصل بمرحمة عَبد الرَحيم ورش

منه الجناح فَكَم أَولَيته مننا

And connect with mercy Abd Al-Rahim and sprinkle

Upon him of your wing - how many favors we bestowed upon him

مني عليك سَلام اللَه ما سجعت

وَرق الحمى وَثني روح الصبا غصنا

From me, peace of Allah upon you, for as long as

The parchments of fever rustled and the youth of morning bent a branch
