إذا سدَّسَ الذاتَ النزيهةَ عارفٌ

وأدرجَ في بدرِ التمامِ ذُكاء

When a virtuous soul is enlightened by a knower,

And endowed with perfect intelligence,

وألحقَ أرواحَ العُلى بنفوسِها

وأعطاك من نور السَّناء ضياء

And the spirits on high are joined to their souls,

And you are given some gleams from the light of glory,

وأحكم أشياءَ وأرسلَ حكمةً

وصيرَّ أعمالَ الكيانِ هَباء

And all things are set right and wisdom is instilled,

And the labors of existence turn to nothingness,

فذاك الذي يجري إلى غير غاية

ويطلع أقمارَ الشهودِ عشاء

That One flows to a goal beyond goals

And brings forth the stars of witnessing at nightfall;

وتبصره يعطي صباحاً حياتَه

ويقبضها جوداً عليك مساء

You see Him sacrificing His life for you at dawn

And taking it back in His generosity at dusk.
