يا مُلبسي حُللَ العوارفِ هذه

حُسناكَ أسنَى ما سننتَ من النّدى

O you who clothed me in the garments of the gnostics,

Your beauty has adorned me more than any dew has adorned.

أوردتني بحرَ الفواضلِ قاذفاً

دُررِ الفضائلِ ناقعاً منّي الصدّى

You carried me into the sea of sublime virtues,

Tossing the pearls of noble deeds that echo from me.

وأريتني سِيرَ الملوكِ بأسرِهم

في مجلسٍ طولاً يطولُ الفَرقدا

And you showed me the conduct of all kings in their entirety

In a session of unending separation.

وفهمتُ ايماناً جميلَ جلالهِ

لمّا تبيّنَ لي أماراتُ الهُدى

And I understood the beautiful, majestic faith

When the signs of guidance became clear to me.

فَطَفِقتُ مِن ولهٍ بحبِّ خِلالهِ

مِن بَعدِ نشداني مُقِرّاً مَنشِدا

So I became, out of yearning for the essence of his perfection,

After calling me, acknowledging, singing his praises.

وإذا دخلتُ على سِواكَ فلا أرى

في المُسندِ المنصوبِ الا المُسندا

And whenever I come before you, I see

On the sublime throne none but the Sublime.
